OK! That posted before I was done! Seminar was February. First appt. was April. That included the nutrition visit, psych visit and I saw Randy the nurse practitioner. First appt. for supervised diet 4-25 Second appt. May 30 Third appt. June 20. I lost 1.5 lbs. Not much but in the right direction. Next appt. is July 25. I still need mammogram and the heart exam. I hope this is my last "FAT" Arizona summer. On to health, energy, and fun things I'll be able to do that I can't now. Like breathe and walk. That sounds like normal stuff but to me it will be fantastic to do both at the same time. I missed the last get together. I work weekend nights. I had planned to go but sat down on the couch for a moment. YIKES. I slept all the way through it. It would be easier for me to do Breakfast. I get off work at 8AM. Just a sugestion. I'll try to make the next one. Karen

thanks for the answer Virginia. I am seeing Robin Blackstone at Scottsdale Bariatric. Seminar

Hi Trish2you, You are TALL. I am 4'11". And I am 64. Waiting to finish my 6 month supervised diet. Then it is on to the surgery! Karen

Hey Pacupatty, I am 64 and hoping for insurance approval. I have just begun the 6 month supervised diet. I sure wish I was done with that and approved. I really want to be able to walk without the breathlessness. I hope you do well and will be looking forward to your posts. Karen

I may be the oldest here. I am 64 and ready to start a healthy new life. I will try to join you on Sat, June 9 at Chili's. How will I identify the group when I get there?
