My original name was s. fletcher, but when the board was overhauled awhile ago I had to change my login name cause I had trouble logging in, thus I am now Stacey 71.... Anyway I have been trying since March 2007 to have WLS and have decided on lapband surgery. After the painstaking process of choosing a surgery and then jumping through ins. hoops, I finally made it! I was beginning to think this day would never come. I will be undergoing lapband surgery with Dr. Patricia Choban at Mt. Carmel Hospital in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 10th!!!! WHOOHOO!

There is a lot of good info out there. -------------------- JOY 330/165/245/165 highest/lowest/regain/goal Lap RNY 5/2003

Isn't it exciting when you finally get the date! You'll be so pleased when that weight starts dropping off! Hugs! Deb, I was born and raised in Ohio. A buckeye is a big dk brown Nut type thing, that grows from a tree, a buckeye tree. Its beautiful really, the color of mohogany. BUT before you can see the "nut" part, it is incased in a pale green "shell" that has very prickely little spikes all over it. When they fall from the tree and dry the "shell" dries and opens, revealing the "nuts inside" (usually 2 per shell) If I remember correctly, the nut is like 1" by 1.5". I haven't seen a buckeye or buckeye tree since I was a kid. -------------------- "Just do the next right thing!" My first goal is 199 lbs. It has been over 18 years since I've been in ONEderland! My full goal & progress: 270 lbs day of surgery Read about my husbands accident

New In Town Group: Neighbor Posts: 6 Joined: 1-February 08 From: ohio Member No.: 2,551 Arrival Date: September 10, 2008 Permission to Quote:Yes	Thanks so much for the wonderful reception.. I am sure I will have tons of questions after surgery. I am not sure why my arrival date is listed as March 2008, I think that is when the neighborhood got a facelift and I had trouble loggnig on, as I previously logged in as s. fletcher.. Anyway, I have been researching weight loss surgery for 2 years and the last year of it I have been obtaining ins. approval so it has been a long, hard road! I am very excited and nervous at the same time! I will keep you posted on my progress....
