Any SEPTEMBER dates in here???

I started off at 300 pounds I lost 50 pounds by myself and kept it off for about a year. I went up and down between 245-260 for a few years. The day I went into surgery I weighed 245. I'm at 189 today. And I feel good. I did not have any complications and I'm able to physically do alot more. Just keep everybody posted on your progress. Dayja

I will do just that, I am looking forward to being more active and having more energy... I am very excited about this upcoming month. God Bless Sharmie

My date is Sept. 27th

Thats great, where are you having your surgery done?

Just got mine the other day..........surgery is September 6th at Barix Clinics

Awesome is that close to Ann Arbor thats where I am..

HI! I had surgery 2 years ago in september, so I know that I am not excatly what you are looking for. Here is what happened with my weight loss though.....Istarted out at 295. Ilost around 30 lbs the first month. By six months (March) Ilost 100 lbs. By july of 05 I was at my goal of 150 lbs. I havebeen maintaining eversince. I wish you the best. Tiffany

I'm looking for support, someone to say hey your're normal when its all said and done. I hear so many stories I just dont want to feel scared and alone, my hubby can be supportive but he can't really know what to say if I freak out because he's never walked this road, so in short I'd love to have you as a support person or a friend... God Bless Sharmie

Sharmie, I think the fear of the unknown is the worst part. I know that I will NEVER be normal (as in eating however I want and not gaining back). I feel normal now though. I don't know if that makes any sense. I must say that the last 2 yearshave just flown by. I clearly remember being where you were. I don't post here too much, but if you would like to email me privately feel free. I know that this is an uncomfortable, yet exciting time. Emotions are running high. Sincerely, Tiffany

hey! mine is Sept 26th in alma
