flagirlintx 2 Posted October 21, 2008 Thank you for the welcome! Your weight loss is amazing! That's actually right where I want to be. I'm very excited! I am seeing Dr. Wilkenfeld there in Conroe at 242 and 45. Do you have any input on him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagirlintx 2 Posted October 21, 2008 Debbie, thanks so much for taking the time to respond and offer your words of encouragement. You know, it hit me about three weeks ago that I've spent an ENORMOUS amount of time negatively thinking/dieting/dealing with weight and I am so hopeful that taking this step will begin to put an end to that. I am very excited to get started!! Your weight loss is amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagirlintx 2 Posted October 21, 2008 Thank you for taking the time to respond and CONGRATULATIONS on your amazing weight loss. I am very excited to get started on this journey! I am still waiting for approval but am very hopeful because apparently my insurance is good and approves within 1-2 weeks. I'm seeing Dr. Wilkenfeld at I45 and 242, just in to Conroe. Have you ever heard of him? Again, thanks for the time in responding! kathi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BethFromVA 5 Posted October 21, 2008 Oh wow, I used to live on the Houston/Spring border (I-45 and 1960)!! Welcome. I am new too. I will have my psych eval on Thursday which, thankfully, is the ONLY thing my insurance company requires of me to get this thing started! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
