Hi Tina! How are you doing? I sorta abandoned the board for a while but have kept on thinking of you all!!

I missed you too. Just trying to stay focused and get under 300lbs. I am so close and I'm excited. I have been just lurking and not posting much. I will back soon once I reached my goal.

Definitely do! xchrissie23x@hotmail.com. If you have a blackberry i can give you my pin # too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read your post in the 6 month thread...you're not alone. It seems like everyone around me are getting approved left and right. You've still got me, the unapproved girl! lol. Hope you have a good birthday.

Have a great trip Tina!

Hi! My financing fell through - my aunt freaked about the money (after I deposited the check no less) so I just couldn't accept it anymore even though the plan was to pay her back in chunks.

I was totally bummed and am still pretty bitter, I go to one of two Orientation classes at Kaiser tonight and am hoping to get a PT job that has bariatric coverage as well. I'm just keeping my options open to see what pans out!

Hi Tina! Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing! How was Vegas? I didn't end up getting surgery - it's been postponed while I go through Kaiser or try to get a part time job with other insurance.

Hi Carotgirl, I'm in the pre op stage myself but it should be in June. I'll be having the lapband because I had a heart attack 1 1/2 years ago and will be on aspirin forever and that rules out gastric bypass. I'm disappointed but I know I have to do something because I have a lot of comorbidities to take care of. I'm 58 and no longer have toddlers to run after (at my age thank God!) except when my grandkids come to visit. Good luck. Pat
