This is a link to my post on the DS board a little earlier. Since I mentioned it in our Raleigh Meetup on Saturday and I got the pointed finger from Annie with the admonishment "Don't you give up!!", I thought I'd share what I did today.

Needless to say, I'll be a bundle of nerves until I get that call on Friday.

Thanks Annie and all my other local peeps (yeah, I'm talking to you Andrea) for the continued support!

Thanks Annie! It was nice to see you on Saturday, but I hate we didn't get to chat before we had to go. I look forward to seeing you more, and I'll definitely be on the lookout for your posts as your surgery date gets closer and closer. I'll be rootin' for you too!!!!

Hi Angela,
You did not give up and that is GREAT!!!
You have to take the bull by the horns and it looks like that is just what you did .
I had my surgery in 07 now just waiting on seeing the PS OMG you all think you freak out before surgery you havent seen anything yet.
I am trying to figure out what do I do first my arms, or my lower parts LOL

Unfortunately, I had to delete this message due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Yeah, can you believe that? Instead of asking her WTF she'd been doing for a month, I went with the honey approach and said bless your heart, you must be so slammed. And it got immediate sympathy from her. Here's hoping it worked. I figure you can catch more flies with honey....

How you feelin' Hon? Any better yet?

That's the tact that I normally take and I have to tell you that it usually works much better than storming the doors. Wishing you success ... keep up the sweet, FIRM, gentle pressure.
