Hey Tina,

Sorry its taken me to Friday to come on. With work and everything time just pasts by...This will be my support for now. My doctor is trying to work something out to where we have a support groups by via-phone. The nearest support group is a hour and half away around 7 at night and its only on Mondays. Of course there my doctors office that does it to but that's 4 and half hours away but on Saturdays at times. But I have to work sometimes on Saturday because I am management. Refinancing my home was a blessing. I had a 80/20 loan I needed to refinance the two loans together and get out of the 20 ...So it was perfect timing. So I added four more years to my home but the interest I saved in the long term makes it worth it. I saw all your pictures of your lovely family. You are blessed. Your daughter is pretty also. Love the pink hair. he he....Tell her to keep up her studies ...they will pay off in the long run.....I didn't get to go to College however I went to Cosmetology School. I did that for 13 years had my own salon for a while. But my feet and hands killed me. I needed health insurance and a 401k plan etc....All the stuff you have to plan when we get old hehehehe....So one day I had to close the doors to my salon and what a hard decision that was. But I also don't have to worry but all the worries that come with owning your business. This weekend I will try to work on getting my pictures on here. Will I better go....Take care and talk to you later. .......
Tracey hugz back at you

Hey Tina,
Thank you for visiting the website of my doctor. I understand about the long hours away from your doctor and support group. That is one of the reasons I am here too. My doctor is 4 and a half hours away. When I am there I have to stay at the House next to the Hospital. Its kind of like the Ronald McDonald house. I will be in the hospital for 2 days and there for 3 to 4 days after. Talk to your doctor and see what he says. I am glad that you have good insurance. I have to do the self pay. I had to refinance my home in which it was a good thing. We did better this time around. Tell your daughter Happy Birthday. Ohhhhh those days lol are loooooonnnnngggg gone. Tell to her to remember this year because after the age of 25 its alllllll down hilllll. I don't remember those days to well and I am only 37 or is it 38 that's sad.....its just a age....you are only as old as you feel....LOLOLOL right now I feel about HMMMMMMM OLD. 75++++ Take care
Tracey

Hi there, Go to your advator on your control panel and paste your pic in the box or from your browser. I started walking yesterday. So I know what you mean. My doctor does all of them lapband, lap bypass, open rny...He has 25 years of experience. He has found that the open is less risky. The difference is when the hook the small intest. to the pouch they have found that links happen. Rare but does. When you do the ryn he is making sure that there will be no links. I have his website if you want more details. www.bariatricsoftexas.com I was going to have the lapband. And my doctor said no only because the amount of weight I have. I am 287 and 5'4'' . That is my angel she was 5 there is now 7 I will update soon on this. I'm still trying to figure this out. Keep hanging in there. And don't give up on your dreams.

Ps- I bought 2 new tops today that are size 14/16 and I wear sort of a tight 22/24 right now, but they are so darn cute and I know I will get down to wearing them maybe by this time next year...

Hi sweetie thanks for the visitor message! I would love to be your friend.

Hi and thanks for including me amongst your friends!

Hi lifeismypoetry,

I saw that you are having your surgery in May. I am having mine in April. I am here for you I know already your thoughts. For I am going trough the samething. We can do this....

Tina, I would be honored to mentor you along this journey. I'm honored that you asked. It truly is a joy of mine and I hope that one day it will also be my profession.

I'm fine with your wordiness...and really could care less about grammer. So no problems there!

Thank you so much MiladyB. I feel so lost in this maze of a forum, but I have been peeking around and leaving comments here and there. I will definitely be picking your brain. I would love for you to be my sponser through this journey, but you probaboy have so many requests that it might not be possible. If you can't do you have someone that might be willing to sponser me...

I have to warn you that I am a wordy person and that my grammer sucks..lol.. but true. so please bare with me..
I will take you up on your offer of messaging you. I hope I don't drive you crazy with so many questions.
Hugz,
Tina
