SORRY--MY MISTAKE THUR FEB 23rd @ 630pm is the CORRECT DATE....I wasn't looking at my calendar and my memory failed me once again!. APPLEBEES BUSH RIVER ROAD

Kelly, I was wondering if anyone that comes to Mid-State has been a patient of Dr. strickland and Lex Medical? Hope to see you Feb 23 at Apple Bees Joan McDonagh

Hey there Not sure if I will be able to make the meeting on the 23rd. I have two other things I am supposed to be doing on that date too. I will have to see. --Kelly

Hi you guys! Im new to this website...and i see all of you ladies(and some men)are from SC. I am going through the process of getting my paperwork together to have my insurance approval for the surgery..its nice to see some people that can relate to what i am going through. I am from the Spartanburg area. So do all of you ladies know each other?? Looks like from what i am reading that alot of you do.. I hope once i log off of here today i will be able to find my way back.. Ha Ha...wish me luck!

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME, MS SHAUNA. GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU FOUND US; SURE HOPE YOU BECOME A REGULAR HERE. I ADDED YOU TO OUR SC WEIGHT LOSS LIST ... IS LYMAN IN THE LOWCOUNTRY, MID OR UPSTATE? A LOT OF THE LADIES & GENTS FROM THE LOWCOUNTRY KNOW EACH OTHER PERSONALLY BECAUSE WE MEET ONCE A WEEK AT OUR LOWCOUNTRY BYPASS BUDDIES SUPPORT GROUP MEETING. OTHER LADIES IN THE MID & UPSTATE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ORGANIZING SUPPORT GROUPS AS WELL. HEATHER IS THE LEAD PERSON IN THE MIDSTATE. MS HEATHER HAS SET UP AN ALL-STATE MEETING IN COLUMBIA ON MARCH 4th (SATURDAY). WE'RE GONNA MEET AT STICKY FINGERS AT NOON & THEN GO BOWLING. HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US. SHE POSTED INFO ABOUT IT A COUPLE PAGES BACK. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Hi dawn. I saw the message about the SCFun day..and i was very touched that heather herself has also invited me..thats very thoughtful. So i am officially on the weightloss countdown now?? yipeeeeeee that makes me feel like i am on the journey now. Lyman is in the upstate...and i guess i would be considered waiting to get an appt with my sergeon?? ive already done the seminar and im working on the paperwork now. I just hope my insurance comp doesnt make me go back through a 6 month diet plan...not only is that time consumming but is also very costly....which at my bmi (54%)....ill still need the surgery after that. makes no sense to me the way some insurance comp view WLS.

YES, MS HEATHER IS A DOLL ... SO VERY THOUGHTFUL & SUPPORTIVE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF SHE "HADN'T" INVITED YOU PERSONALLY. YUP GIRL, YOU'RE "OFFICIAL" ... ON THE SC WEIGHT LOSS LIST ... CANNOT GET OFF IT! I HAVE YOU IN THE "UPSTATE" NOW. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING MORE ABOUT WHAT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO REQUIRE OF YOU? DID THEY DEMAND A 6-MONTH DIET PLAN? I SURE HOPE NOT. OBVIOUSLY, IF WE COULD LOSE & KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF ON A REGULAR DIET, WE WOULDN'T BE DOING SOMETHING THIS DRASTIC ... MY BMI WAS 51.2 SO I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT! BUT, I'M DOWN TO 39.6 ... NICE DROP. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
