I GOT A DATE!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Be sure to have an angel who can post updates until you get "back in the saddle." We'll all be anxiously awaiting word of your uncomplicated surgery and successful recovery.

WOo congrats! I called for an appt with Doc Bauman's office because my current surgeon is hedging about doing the particular surgery I want. I had to leave a message though and no one called me back :(

Go to www.carolinaweightlosssurgery.com and fill out the patient information form. Once that has been submitted to them they will respond with an email about making an appt. Getting an appt takes a while because they are good, but from what I hear from everyone they are the best.

Thanks Brian, I did that a while back actually. Anyways this is your post, i shouldnt have mentioned that. I love your tat btw are you an EMT?

It is not a problem. Everyone here has been super helpful to me so now if I can pay that back some then great. Thanks for the props on my ink. I am a career Paramedic and volunteer firefighter, hence the flames and star of life. 

That's awesome, does it take alot of training to do? I can't imagine being in that kind of situation on a daily basis. I guess weightloss will help you alot on your job as well. BTW I see you're having issues with that ticker - I did too until some very helpful person told me - don't copy the code for it, copy the picture itself and paste it into your user settings.

Yeah, it can be a stressful job. It can also be very rewarding at times as well. Losing some weight will be great for me at work too.  I have been having some ticker trouble. I read on tickerfactory about doing the pic instead of the code, Does it still count down doing it that way?

Whenever you update it you'll have to repaste I believe. I haven't changed mine yet. I'll tell ya one of my horror stories - My stepfather was extremely obese, a crack addict (ugh) diabetic and a a--h-le anyways, when he had a heart attack (sittin on the toilet like Elvis - gotta love the irony) the poor rescue squad had a horrible time getting him to the ambulance because of his size. It was January and icey out and they had to carry him down 6 flights of stairs, through the balcony because of the bigger doors. I see that in my mind every now and then, it haunts me, something I never want to happen to me. He didn't make it, but I believe he was gone before they even got there - course that didn't stop them from almost killing themselves getting him out of there.

We find more than you would think sitting on the pot. Vaso-vagal syndrome is a witch.  I thought about having to update it after I posted it. I can see that for the weight loss or BMI but i have seen time tickers that count down. That would be if you used the code though i guess.
