Use to be a spectator now I'm part of the team

I have attempted WLS since 2005....and always ran into road blocks. Finally this year I decided I wasnt going to take no for an answer. I have insurance that will cover it. I went to my seminar at IU Bariatrics and met with Dr. Choi. I am now on the 6 months supervised weight loss program. I am not required to lose any weight, but they encourage you to use the liver reduction diet to reduce the size of your liver and make the stomach more visible. I am confident this is my time. Dr Choi says we are looking at the 1st of the year for surgery....what jumpstart on the good old New Years resoloution that will be. Anyway, I am trying to get my bearings on this site. For so long I have sat back and just looked around. Its time for me to participate. If anyone has any suggestions on where to start to become more involved please feel free to let me know.

Hello. I spend most of my time in the cosmetic surgery board but wanted to stop by the Indiana board. At my heighest I was 405, started my bariatric journey at 374. I ahve been banded since March 2009 and now weigh 219. I actually got to 197 and lost myself and gained. Being that I am self pay I have set my cosmetic surgery date in order to kick my butt in gear.

Are you on FB. If so I have a small group called LOSIN' IT IN 2011
