What a great story and congratulations on your success.

Congratulations on being sleeved. How are you doing?

I'm going to steal your idea and write my own letter. Congratulations on your accomplishments.

I am 45 and hopes to be sleeved in May or June. I'm working on completing my three months of supervised dieting.

Saying a special prayer for you Marilyn.

Hi. I haven't had the surgery either, but from what I've read on this forum, if you get in your protein on a daily basis, you won't experience any hair loss.

Does anyone know where I can get the nutritional info on fresh fruit? Thanks a bunch.

AWESOME!!!

Great question. I wonder about sagging skin too. Has anyone tried resistant bands?

Sounds delicious. I can't wait to try this.

What an awesome WOW moment and inspiring story. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Congrats Cait and welcome to the forum. I am so proud of your accomplishment thus far. Keep on loosing!

Stop beating yourself up and get back to doing what YOU know you should be doing. You had your surgery for a reason. Get back to the basics. Just imagine how surprise your ex will be when she sees you the next time. Keep your eyes on the prize. Good luck and keep us updated on your success.

Thanks everyone for the positive replies and support. Your kindness is truly appreciated and noted.

My journey to have weight loss surgery began two years ago. To make a long story short, the doctor's office I used was not highly recommended. According to the OH website, he had great reviews and when I went to the seminar I liked what I heard but my experience with his office was horrible. It's was often difficult to speak to someone in his office. You always had to email them or leave a message. It would take 2, sometimes 3 days or more to get a return phone call or email from them. Needless to say, I became very frustrated and gave up Back in November when I went to see my PCP for an annual checkup she told me about another program and that several of her patients had had success with it. I decided to go the seminar and was skeptical because I had heard it all before. I am happy to say that I have been nothing but impressed with their professionalism, dedication and caring. I have completed all of the necessary information needed by the insurance company but j was denied because the Weight Watchers program I completed at the beginning of 2010 does not qualify for the non-medical weight program. It wasn't detailed enough. At first I was disappointed but realized that God is in control of this and that everything happens for a reason. On the up-side, I only have to do the program for three months and then I should be approved. This detour gives me a chance to start changing my eating habits and get use to the taste of the whey Protein shakes. I am remaining positive and look forward to getting approved in late April.

Congratulations on getting your surgery date!!! You are on your way.

Wow!!! You should be very proud of yourself. You are such an inspiration to us who are trying to have the sleeve. Congratulations and keep up the great work!
