Soy Española y viviendo en Pensacola , Florida
Tengo una cita con el cirujano el dia 9 de Agosto y ya te puedes imaginar la mezcla de sensaciones que tengo por dentro.
Voy a ver si encuentro mas grupos que escriban en Español pq leer las cosas en Ingles esta bien pero no se puede comparar con leerlo en tu primera lengua.
Gracias a todos los hispanos parlantes ...bueno mejor gracias a todo el mundo
Besitos

Topic: Philadelphia Gathering of Friends of WLS
Philadelphia Gathering of Friends of WLS
Friday, October 6, 2006 - Sunday, October 8, 2006
Adults Only
Registration Deadline is September 1, 2006
Late Registration Deadline is September 15, 2006
These weekend gatherings are about meeting and connecting with people who can understand the journey we all have taken and to have fun with fellow WLSers and support people. And this year is something a little special, a Halloween Costume Ball! You can even win prizes for your costumes! So grab your ghoulish gear and come see Philly in the Fall.
We have finalized the Hotel Information for the Philadelphia gathering. The cost of the hotel is $99.00/per night, this is per room. You can call the hotel to make your reservations at 1-800-325-3535 or (215)547-4100 by September 15, 2006: Ask for "FRIENDS OF WLS".
Sheraton Bucks County Hotel
400 Oxford Valley Road
Langhorne, PA 19047
The hotel has a pool, hot tub, sauna and gym for guests to use at no charge. As a lot of people did at past gatherings, we recommend doubling and tripling up in rooms.
If you are flying into Philly, the best choice is Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) which is about 30 minutes south of the hotel on I-95; but you could also fly into Newark Airport (EWR) in New Jersey, which is about 1.5 hrs from the hotel. Cabs are available to the hotel, but we will try to organize our own little shuttle service, if we know what time people are coming into the Philadelphia airport. Remember, "You have a Friend in Pennsylvania" is our state motto- we will get you to the hotel!
Please feel free to bring your Significant other or Support person, but children will not be allowed at the Friday night or Saturday night events. In addition, the Philadelphia area has a wealth of nearby attractions and shopping. The hotel is down the street from Sesame Place for those interested in a family activity.
We will be releasing a full itinerary later, but a very brief overview is as follows:
Friday, October 6, 2006
Mix & Mingle, evening

Topic: RE: To tell or not to tell??
Hey Kadie, I have this same delima. They talk so much at my job that I don't think that I want to tell them either. Though I know they will assume anyway. There was a lady several years ago that lost a lot of weight very quickly and thats all they talked about for a long time when she was not around. I use to tell them they can't really say that if they did not know and if she did so what, thats her business. If they were good friends with the lady then she would have told them right, right.
I think you should do what you think is best for you. I don't want to tell because I don't want thin people to be asking me questions. Now if you have issues with your weight and you want to talk to because you are considering have the procedure, I don't mind. But for those ones that are really just being nosey.......those are the ones that I don't really want to talk to.
I will be thinking about you this week. Make sure you post when you get back home to let us know that you are doing well.

Topic: Life After Surgery - Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Denver
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to share that after losing over 130lbs life has changed dramatically. Exercising gives me such a good feeling (no kidding almost a high). It makes me feel great to be healthy and in control that exercising becomes almost addictive. Never thought it could be..LOL I truly hated to exercise when I was 300lbs. I still have 30lbs to goal but I know that I will accompli**** and maintain my desired weight because using the surgery as a tool is why I had the surgery. To think you can just eat and have no consequences after surgery is delusional. Too much food in against calories burned will make you gain weight. The difference is now our actions show results so it is easier to keep on track.
I have done several 5K walks and now I am doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Denver. The Avon Walk is a marathon walk of 39 miles on June 24th & 25th, 2006. This is such an great cause that my team "Cheerful Walkers" is looking for others who would like to join the fight to eradicate breast cancer. We need help in our fundraising and are looking for sponsors. If you are interested and would like to make a tax-deductible donation to "Avon Walk for Breast Cancer" and help us meet our fundraising goals go to our team website http://info.avonfoundation.org/site/TR?team_id=20180&pg=team&fr_id=1180 and scroll down our team web page and choose a name under team roster, and then "Click here to Sponsor Me". We are also looking for others who would like to join our team to do the Avon Walk in Denver. All this information can be found on our team webpage.
Life after surgery is so wonderful that I feel truly blessed and one of my ways of showing my gratitude is by helping others. Breast Cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the US. Every 3 minutes a woman is told she has breast cancer. Every 14 minutes someone dies of breast cancer, it affects men too. We can help eradicate breast cancer together! Thank You for your time and consideration.
