It is something to think about and really work for those first two years so you get in the GOOD Habits! I'm starting aqua fitness 5 days a week .. I have at least 3 months before surgery. I've already been shopping differently for the last 2 months, buying low fat or no fat items.. my biggest problem to work on is Pasta. I see lossing weight very differently now, it will be a Gift and one I won't take for granted

Waiting is even harder after sending in all the information. I think if I just knew it was approved and I had a date I could handle waiting for the time to come. It's the "not knowning" that kills me.
I wish they could take off this apron of FAT when they do the surgery. It is so heavy and makes doing anything ten times harder or completely impossible to do at all. I have been without a lap for so long now. My hips must be a real mess from not being able to close my legs to sit for so long. Personal Hygene alone should be reason enough to have it removed. But if you add in the hip problem and back problems it causes
, it is so medically nesesary to get rid of this *apron*. I should ask BTC if they can do that.
Oh My GOD ! all of this has come TRUE! this is Sept of 2006 I had surgery in June of 2004 and by June of 2005 All this has come TRUE! How awsome is that! All I can say is GET THE SURGERY What are you waiting for??? It is SOOOOOOOO Worth it all of it!! Honest!
