I asked this on the main board

but I didn't get any answers. You girls that have your profiles set up as friends only, how do you do it. I have mine just completely private because I don't know how to change it. Also, is it available to everyone on your friends list? I just can't figure this out on my own :oS

Deb, can't answer your question but how nice to see your face. I am really enjoying seeing people I recognise from when i was on OH LB board. How are you doing? Kate

Kate you look incredible, really glad you are well. How am I, fat, my fault, eating like a piggy. I will post and let my "cat out of the bag". I am showing my face on the RNY board and am in the process of revision (paperwork right now), so I am thinking by summer it's a done deal. Happy, scared, mourning... all the emotions. But I keep reading profiles, and have made some connections with the program I am going through.

Deb that is so cool! I am so happy for you!!

Thanks Susan, I wish I could just wake up tomorrow and it was all over with... wouldn't that be nice

Oh Deb, I am so sorry that this did not work for you but pleased that you are taking such positive steps towards finding a WLS that does work. What was it that was not right for you? Kate

Oh Kate, so much happen while you were away... shame on you! LOL The band was awesome while it worked, I lost 117#, but the motility in my esophagus slowed down, after many scopes, upper GI's , a couple surgeries and the band had to go. I thought I would hold my ground, but I ate everything I couldn't during the 17 months banded and bam, If giant all over again, so I have to do something because I really hate myself right now. Waiting for approval then a date.

Oh Deb - I am so sorry!! But certainly don't hate yourself! I don't expect you have put all the weight back and what you have done once you will do again with WLS. We all knwo we can't do it without that help - we wouldn't have had surgery in the first place otherwise! Kate

Good for you, Deb! I hope you get the revision of your choice soon. There are so many options - after banding, how did you settle on RNY? Just curious - I have lots of friends who did that procedure and are very happy and healthy now.

Duh me! I should read down a few before asking the same question Chelle!
