Donna hang in there...you must trust that you will get approval for surgery. About the weight....well over the past month or so I have been eating a lot of protein (eggs, lean turkey) and to my amazement when I went to the surgeon's office I had lsot 13 pounds. You may want to give it a try. Please have faith that all will work out for you, and keep posting. mari seattle

Hi there, I just wanted to give you my support. I know how you feel. Something I try to do to keep it in perspective...is I think about how I look at other overweight people. Do I judge them or think they are discusting?? No, they are just people..people I know or people I don't. But they are just people.. and so are you. and from your picture I can tell you are a very lovely person. If it isn't too late, go to the party, have fun, and don't worry about what people are thinking...most likely they aren't thinking about your weight. Good luck in life, Donna, I wish you well.

Donna, pick you jaw off the floor, and your butt off the chair, and you put that gorgeous smile on your face. I am sure there is at least one person, but probably more who need your smilin face at the Christmas party. You are gonna be fine darlin. And everybody said....

Donna, if you havn't watched Donahue yet you will see the balance of pros and cons. It was very good. On the other 48hrs was strictly about LAP ABand.. I didn't like it at all.

Donna, some things are worth fighting for....never doubt that YOU are one of them! I bet you'll find another surgeon nearby who does the LAP surgery! Keep up the good fight!

Donna, I spoke to Annette this morning and she told me what happened. It's ok to scream and cry. Just let all the emotions out. Now that you are at the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on. We will make this happen; call Brandi and get my phone number and we can work on it together. I am here for you. Try to found out what new insurance company your employer will be using. Lisa

DONNA~~ Sorry to hear about your insurance troubles.... So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable

Donna, I know that it is hard not knowing. Don't give up, because if you do I will too. I am not a good person on waiting either. But together we can lean on each other. And make these insurance companies move their butts. Have the faith in me and I will have faith in you. Good Luck.
