    Hi! I'm Lin and I'm almost 2 months post-op Lap Band. I'm in Watertown NY and I'm doing 'ok'. It took me two hundred years to put this on, so I'm not going to take it off overnight! Thanks for finding me on Facebook. This is a great site as soon as I can figure it out! LOL

    Hi Jacquii..

    Great..thanks for doing that. Just a personal note about me for your own knowledge... I work for one of the nations largest group health insurance companies, for 23 yrs and much of that time I have been involved either as one making the decision to cover WLS (years ago, insurance companies didnt have a huge medical staff like they do now) or I assist folks in getting authorizations approved as I now serve as a subject matter expert for the employers to come to with sticky issues. Just want you to know that when I get on my soapbox about insurance, its because I have the unique advantage of being on both sides of the issue.

    Take care! Robin

    Thanks Jaq..I am sick of it, but I am trying to push through. It's certainly better than it was when it was moving around!
    Next week I'll get rechecked and see if I need the surgery or not..hopefully not!

    Thank you for all the information. I really appreciate it. I'm so on the fence about doing this is crazy. I've never put more thought into a decision in my entire life! The more information i get the more answers and questions i get so i have a long journey ahead of me to get to a decision.

I had another AWESOME wow moment just today - I posted it on my Facebook page:

The Following Text Is Quoted:
TWODERVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND it's official ==> I do indeed have a real, actual collarbone LOL - Woohoo!!!!!!
I weighed in today at a doctor's appointment - And the nurse immediately slid the dial to 300 - It didn't work! She had to slide it down to 250 LMAO -- Anyway - I weighed in at 297 -- It's the first time in several years I've been under 300 pounds!

This is me doing...

Well - I had a couple wow moments today actually - I'm not sure if they really classify as wow moments - but I'll share anyway
  1. Took a shower this afternoon and I could actually wrap the towel around me! Before - it always seemed like even the biggest towels fit me like a large hand towel of some sort. So - I had to grin at that!

  2. It's finally warming up in Tennessee - I'm so tired of winter and ready for spring -- So I walked to my credit union earlier today.

Picture of me 6 months post-op roux-en-y in jeans for the first time in 3 years

I had bought several pairs of jeans and corduroys back in 2006. In fact - I had bought a lot of new clothes to update for autumn/winter that season. Nice stuff actually. Well - I wore the stuff for about 3 months...

Well - I had my 6-month post-op consult this afternoon. I will officially be 6 months post-op roux-en-y gastric bypass on the 28th October. I weighed in today and was 325 pounds - down from my highest 438 pounds - so do the math WLS PEOPLES!!! 113 POUNDS GONE FOREVER!!!!!!

Not to shabby for less than 6 months post-op. I was so happy and astonished. I say thank you to everyone for all the support here. You all have played a part in my success thus far and I hope to play...

...at the Billy's Time Out Deli here in Oak Ridge. I know I shouldn't have even been in the deli - but I was craving some onion rings - they have the best beer battered onion rings in the entire city. So I did enjoy 3 onion rings. They were delicious too.

Anyway - at the register. I was paying for the onion rings - I saw the most succulent chocolate/walnut brownie I'd seen in years. I said to myself before I even considered buying it, "I should not even be considering...
