I was wondering how long it too for you to recover and do you have any advice for recovery that you found helpful in the process? I have heard so many things and I think the one thing that has remained constant was do exactly what the doctor said and eat only what you were told.

Hey,
I tried to PM, but when I click on your name it says it is private. Send me a PM and I will reply with the address to my house.
Look forward to seeing you. I still remember our trip we made to NC with our moms. WOW how things have changed since then!
I will always be grateful for the help and support you gave me getting started on the DS journey.
Eventhough I ended up not having the DS with Voellinger, I am so happy I went through his pre-op program. It is top notch. He is probably one of the most thorough DS surgeons out there. I still pull out my IDEXA scan and cant believe all that fat I used to carry around.

Have you had a consultation with Dr. Blaney in Augusta. I have heard good reviews about his office. Plus, he does all 4 surgery types, so he may be able to give you an unbiased opinion about which procedure will work best for you.
I notice you have a very high BMI. Please take a moment to research the benefits of DS wls. I have lost 175lbs and kept it off for over 3 years. I am very grateful to have learned there was another option besides the rny and band.
Also, you may need to travel to get the surgery and surgeon you need to get the results and care you want. The back and forth travel is a headache pre-op and the first few months post op, but you will not need to go to their office nearly as much after that. It is a small sacrifice for the right procedure and surgeon.

It's Time to Mingle & Jingle!
Hello Ladies,
I miss all my wls freinds so much. I can't wait to see you at the party. We don't get together for our monthly Meet & Greets anymore, so I am hoping all the old crew can get together again.
So, get out that sexy ****tail dress, tell hubby to dust off his tie, and get ready to party the way only a formerly fluffy diva can!
I am hosting at my house. All you need to bring is yourself, a smile, and a gift for the gift swap. We had a blast last year!
Invitations have been sent to your PM mailboxes. If yours did not come through, please let me know, and I will resend it. I don't have everyone on my PM list, and can't remember all the screen names. 
*** Please r.s.v.p. so I can have an accurate count for catering service.
Hi,
Just wanted to let everyone know the clothing change has been rescheduled due to a scheduling conflict with the hospital. I will post a new date as soon as one becomes available.
Also,
Be on the lookout for invites to the annual Holiday Party December 15th. They will be sent to you by PM. Check your in-boxes for details. I look forward to seeing my old buddies ... what's left of you :-) . Skinny divas!
Congrats on your success! So happy to see you are staying on track. Keep up the good work.
