Topic: RE: channel 9 news
I knew that was you when I saw the news article. I can't think of a better person to exemplify the journey we WLS patients take. Wear your body with pride because underneath the loose skin is a healthy person.
We're proud of you!

Topic: RE: so close!
I don't have an answer but just wanted to chime in and say I hope all is well and your so close to getting your surgeyr. Just jump through this last little hurdle. I had a scare right before my surgery and it ended up being nothing so here is hoping the same will happen to you.

Topic: so close!
Some of you know me some not. I have been working on my RNY since Dec. I expected to get approval and schedule my surgery about a month ago but my EGD showed I had ulcers. Doc put me on meds for a month and my followup EGD showed all ulcers gone (and I got my approval letter Monday too!!) Only thing is Doc found a few polyps in my stomach and he did a biopsy. He told me in only 2% of cases will a polyp be something to worry about. I will hopefully get my biopsy results Friday and if all is clear I will get to schedule. I'm so close I can taste it!.......
Anyone else been told they had polyps? I am a tiny bit concerned about them since 2% of polyps can be cancerous.......

Thank you Vicki! You are so sweet! I agree with you. I had a moment of panic last night but this morning checked messages and thought to myself that I am what I am and I should be proud. So I went with the shorts and short sleeves and yes I'm sure the bat wings are swinging in the wind but its okay. I say that now....I'll probably second guess myself when I see it on the news tonight.

I went with shorts but a longer short and short sleeves. I figured to just let it hang out.....but of course with some under armour! LOL! Gotta have some spandex under there you know. it will be ont he evening news so hopefully it won't be too bad. Then again, even if I dont' look perfect hopefully that sends a message to others to get out there and do it without waiting until you look like an athelete.
