Forensikchic 528 Posted May 21, 2012 My surgeons office called today to ask if I would participate in their seminar this Thursday evening! What an honor! I have lost 86 pounds and I am only 3 pounds from a normal weight, 13 pounds from my personal goal and 14 pounds from losing 100 pounds! Woop! When I was at my seminar, they had about 10 people there who told there story and there were only two sleevers there. One of those was my inspiration and he really helped me. I hope to be someone elses inspiration. Its surreal to think that I am going to be one of those inspirational people! I told my husband at my seminar that I wanted to do that when I reached goal and now its here, I get to do one and I am only 9.5 months out from my surgery! Woooop! She also told me that they are performing more sleeves now than any other procedure but have mostly GB patients who come to the seminars for them. I will be the only sleever there representing! I better do us all proud! Now to pick an outfit to wear! 3 MamaT, mrsjones075 and Lissa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knee2010 54 Posted May 22, 2012 I am so excited for you. I remember thinking at my seminar that the people that spoke were soooooo far out from their surgeries. I wanted someone to speak that was still kinda new. You will do great. I just wish your sister could be here to see/hear you (and the others) speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
