Thanks

I just want to say thank you to everybody *****sponded to my post. I am scheduled to go to a seminar at Saint Joseph's East Weight Loss center on July 10th. So far nothing has discouraged me or made me back down from feeling that this is the right choice for me. I love to hear stories and see pictures of people who have already had the surgery. It really encourages me. I just wanted to say thanks and hang in there to everyone. Robyn

Hello Robyn, My seminar is July 12th in Lexington, Ky. I am so looking forward to going and getting the ball rolling on my decsion to reclaim my life back. I hope yours goes well and please let us pre-ops know how it went and want they talked about. I hear you about looking at different profiles, (all the before and after pics) stories, and experiences of WLS. It's a difficult road to travel, there isn't any question about that. I think about all the difficulties that entail this surgery and it makes me want to try harder, knowing the outcome that can happen with a little hard work and prayers. I hope I just made sense, it's late and I'm tired...LoL Take care and good luck-- Dee

I wish both of you the best. I reasearched for 2 years before I had mine. I have no regrets, but then again I did not have one single problem. This time last year I was sitting in a chair and turning the rope so my girls could play jump rope. I am 8 mths out, this month and down 123lbs. I am 3 pounds from my surgeons goal of 170. I am willing to tell everyone my story or give them the information to read my story, but like you guys, I went to the seminars and read, and read, and read. And when you are ready its time. God bless you both Jane C
