Hi Doris 
This happened to me two years ago, I was also 17 at the time and my surgeon at the time told me I should try and lose 30 lbs before surgery. I went on a strict diet, no carbs, sugars or fats. After the first two weeks I was freaking out because I thought I was gaining weight. I got on the scale and it showed I had only lost 5 lbs, but when I measured myself I had lost a total of 14 inches. It was crazy. So weigh yourself, and if there isn't much of a difference, then measure yourself. You might find that with your pants they may feel weird because you're losing off your behind and not your front.....it's hard to say.
So weigh and measure yourself, then let us all know.

Topic: RE: AM I TOO OLD? HELP!
Hey, Jo! I'm also with you in asking about a '20 something' board. I'll see if I can figure out who to direct the request too and go from there.
Good luck with your orientation meeting!! I had to do something similar with my surgeon before the one on one consult. I know what you mean too by getting everything over with and getting on with your life. The worst part, in my opinion, was waiting in agony for the insurance company to review my request for surgery and make a decision if they'd approve it or not. I called them every day asking if they had made a decision yet or not. lol, it's good to be on 'the other side' and I can't wait for you to get there also! You'll have to let us know how it goes!!

I'm all for asking for a twenty-something board. Who do we need to direct our groveling to? 
I'm going to an orientation meeting on 2/16. 
For any of you who are familiar with the docs in this area...I'm going to Dr. Vierra. I have to participate in this group thingy and meet the doc while I'm there. He gives those whom he feels are qualified a "pass" to make an appointment for a one on one consult. I will beg grovel steal and borrow if I have to.
I just want to get this over with so I can get on with my life!!!!
Anywhoo I'll TTYL
