Thanks Thanks for all the concern and and good wishes. I am having a hard time with the water. I must have gulp and I had a guess an air bubble in my chest for a long time. I need to stay focused, all of a sudden I realized I had a straw in my month. Am I really never going to have a diet...

Raeveen, No one can tell us how we feel and we can hate ourselves at any point, but I keep thinking there are ways to cover-up some of the new flaws, but when we were up there in weight nothing could hide us, try a positive list, list all the positive things going for you now you have lost all...

Medicare I used Medicare, It went well, I had already been seeing a Nutrisinist and everything else fell into place, my heart doctor, my primary doctor were all wanting me to have it done. I was excited so I kept up on everything they asked me to do. There is a lot to do but hope at the end...

Good Hi To Everyone, Surgery was the 13th, I had the full by-pass. Medicare only pays for the band or by-pass. I was worried about the extra attention the band needs so I went all the way. I had the hy hernia and tons of scar tissue from open heart surgery in 03 and 3 trips into...

Did you have the by-pass or the band? I'm kinda nervous that the by-pass might not be the best choice for me. The girls in the doctor off gave me nightmare about the band. I just figure the time I have left will be a different relation ship for me then the last 60 years. I honestly don't...

Thank-you Thank-you for the encouragement, February 27th was your surgery date and it was my 70th birthday.

I'm 70 years old and have many many health problems. I am 85 lbs. overweight. I've decided on by-pass. The girls working in my surgeons office talked me out of the band. Medicare only pays for the band and the by-pass. I am pretty nervous, but excited, I so want to say good-by to many...
