I have been lurking around for a few weeks. I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself. I am Mike, live in Baltimore. I started this journey to WLS on 06-13-07 with my informational session at St. Agnes Hosptial. I submitted all of my information to the the insurance coordinator at Dr. Averbach's office on 07/17 and was approved on 07/19. My surgery date is 08/20 at St. Agnes. - Mike

Hi Mike, Welcome to the group

. I'm from Hagerstown (Williamsport..sm. town right on the outskirt of Hagerstown). I had my surgery (RNY-lap) on Dec. 1st. Dr Singh did mine. He is Dr. Averbach's partner. They are an awesome group of Drs. You're in great hands. I have nothing but great reports on both their practice and St. Agnes hospital. Personally I have had no complications and this is the best thing I could of ever done for myself. I wish you the best on your journey and if I can help in any way please feel free to message me. Take care and see you on the losers bench soon. Hugssssss, Cherryl

Hi Mike, Best wishes on your upcoming WLS. You are in for the ride of your life. The journey is just beginning. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
