2 years ago today....

I was being wheeled down a long hallway facing my undetermined faith... thank goodness for my awesome surgeon who did such a great job!!! I can't believe that it has already been two years since I had surgery. I am maintaining my weight well. Slacking on exercise but don't tell Hendrick. Still have mysteries about why things are the way they are but I learn more from time to time. Thanks to all my OH buds who have helped me through this journey!!! Suzanne 308/160

Congratulations Suzanne !!! I'm just now embarking on this journey myself. I see Dr. Hendrik on February 14th for my first consultation. Right now I'm in the pre-op stages of submitting my diet documentation, testing, etc. I've already had my blood drawn and been for my psych evaluation, so I'm well on my way. I'm excited about this journey. By the way, did you like Dr. Hendrick? Once again, Congratulations !! Keep up the good work.

Donna I cannot say enough good things about Dr. H. He is the most awesome Dr. I have ever had. I love his bedside manner. He is so kind and genuinely cares about his patients. He really has a way of knowing how to treat an obese person. He is very serious about his mission to help people reach an obtainable goal of a healthy lifestyle. I traveled with Dr H from another clinic. I would follow him anywhere, even if I had to fly for my appointments. I love him so much and believe in him I have done promotional pictures for his office and hospital, a commerical for television and I spoke at an informational meeting that was held in November. He is a very lovely Dr. You are in good hands. There is a support group meeting on Tuesday night at the office at 6:30. Anyone can come. It is very helpful for newcomers as well as us oldies. Rachel the dietician is hosting this month's meeting. Message me anytime with any questions that you have. Suzanne

Happy Anniversary

Wow Suzanne! It seems like you just had your surgery and here you are two years out! Congratulations!!! You've done so well and are an inspiration to all of us! Thanks for continuing to post...I know many of us get busy in life and don't have a lot of time to check back in here, but it is really good for all the newbies, as well as us "oldies" to touch base with each other...get support from people who have been thru it. In my humble opionion, I think it's kind of our "duty" to hang around and help out when we can, since there were others there for us when we needed it. I'm glad you have stayed! Way to go on the weight loss Suzanne! Theresa

Theresa Thanks so much for the support that you have given me since I joined OH. I really appreciate being able to have the people I have here on this board to support me and know exactly where I am coming from. I hope you are doing well. Suzanne

CONGRATS TO YOU!!!! HUGS JUDY
