Wrote oprah about our A team and Shar
Here is what I wrote..
We are a success story of April 07 Gastric surgery patients We have approx 35 active people who check in every day to lend support or do our weekly sunday weight in. We call ouselves the A team due to month we had surgery together, Recently we had our Shar who appeared in your audiance when you had the tapping of dancing with the stars. We got to see her,she was OUR movie star that day She was sitting behind the dancers in a pewter outfit We invite your to read what we had to say on our board http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/04-2007/postdetail/11110.html?vc=0
Many of us have reached goal or near goal but what all linked us is we all had gastric surgery (Rny or Lap band) in April 07 Most have lost over 100 lbs But we all struggle the battle of weight and even when we get discoraged someone is there on our A team to lend support. I love our A team .. we all are a true success story Strangers comming together for a common cause Morbid Obesity we are forever family now. We are the true A team.
Thanks Lisa
