Corrine

Thanks Corrine. It's a good feeling just knowing that people are out there thinking of you. I've actually added some photo's of myself, hopefully the day will come when I'll look at them and see someone resembling the old me of yesteryear.

Thanks Corrine, that is so true. I guess I can look forward to next summer, especially if I get to go to Jamaica - my family's jaws would drop to the floor. Most of my relatives are all big build, so its excepted that being large is just nature. Not to me its not. lol. I am a little nervous now though, my brain is going into overdrive.

Glad to see you're hanging on in there. Just thought I'd share my news. I've got my date now, 6th October. OMD. I'm so nervous all over again.

My body is shaking wanting the lapband out so bad. I can feel it sitting in there. I think I'm just too intuned with my body. I hope I never need breast implants! I'd do anything to get my life back and be able to LIVE. As soon as the pain is gone, my first task is to run, run forever until I just fall over puking. I cannot wait to use my body for what it's meant for.

I'm managing. I have an appointment tomorrow to find out when surgery will be. With this group it could be 1 day or 100 days, you just never know. I'm really hanging on by a thread, everyday is a struggle. My PCP is very cautious when it comes to pain pills, and wants me to do whatever it takes to only take 2 a day, meaning just to get thru the day I'm having to smoke weed, take nerve desensitizers, have a drink, sedatives, sleeping a lot, laying on the shower floor a couple times a day just letting the water take it all away. I'm really barely hanging on. I hope this happens soon, I hate this.. just doing anything I can to get thru hour to hour, really hate the weed and beer thing. I refuse to eat and get fatter when the weed gives me munchies so I just fall asleep again. It's a vicious circle. Crying myself to sleep and waking up to reality to do it all again. I pray he can fit me in during the next two weeks cause I don't know how much longer I can hold on Corrine.

Hi honey, are you feeling any better? Do they have a plan or know what's wrong?

Hi Corrine, I am preop, I just found this site, and your posts inspired me, I am 57 years old and have been worried that I will be a large saggy pile of flesh, you look wonderful. I currently weigh 206 and I am 5ft tall. I will be so grateful if I can come off of all the meds I have to take for BP and Diabetes. Thanks Diann

You hang in there girl. Yeah, the waiting was driving my insane, but I can smell that I'm getting closer, lol. I've tried to use the waiting time in a productive way. Its hard sometimes though. When i look at the pictures of people like yourself, i'm encouraged. So thanks for sharing. I hope you soon feel well again. Take care.

Hello Corrine, it's been a while - hope you're doing OK.

Hey Corrine. just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you...{hugs}
