Hi all,

The interview with channel 11 went well, I think.  Everyone who watches it will see our home. I love this house.  Maybe that's why it was so much easier to wait. 

It's going to be another 100 degree day so I won't be out much.  I may try to make it to church tonight.  I need it.

Whazzup with you all?


Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Welcome!!!!

I am 3 months out!  Dr Stefanidis did my surgery.  He is at the same office with your MD.  You will do great.  I love everyone at their office, and CMC Mercy is wonderful!  I have no complaints at all!
Good luck with your progress!

Blessings!!!!!

Kem

Frye surgical group has a support group in Boone.  I think it is a pretty good group.   327-9178 is the number for Frye surgical program and they can give you the information.

You are fine. Some people can loose quite a bit before surgery while others are what I refer to is UP and Downers. They loose some and put some back on and the weight fluctuates. Just log all the food you eat. Keep track of exercise and activity. I have been logging for roughly four years and it does help keep me on track. I got my approval two weeks ago and got my surgery date last Tuesday. After four years of fighting I finally got my award. I will be having my surgery on August 29th. DO NOT LET my four years scare you. i had some issues that needed to be resolved first and they have been resolved. ROUGHLY 99% of people who go in for this surgery are apporved realitivly quickly. THere is just that 1% that need issues resolved before they can get it done.

You will get it. Just have faith and do what the guidelines state. If something doesn't seem right, question it. Ask A LOT of questions..... do research on ALL the surgeries. Word of advice, people WILL knock the choice you make for surgery, but YOU are the one who has to be the one to say it is YOUR choice and not theirs. YOU are the one who has to live with it and no one else.
