Topic: I've lost 144 pounds

I started out at 301 last weigh in at Family Dr before going to Dr Bour. now at 157lbs.

144pounds gone yeah!

going for the goal line. Dr wants me at 135 to 140 I want me at 125 to 130. 22 pounds to go to reach Dr goal and 32 to reach mine.

.

I've had a few bad days just being tired and felt kinda yucky. Hope to feel back to my new self in a few days.

so that is 62 before surgery and 82 since surgery and I'm 6 months out. Hope to reach goal by the end of the year...... Only 10 pounds per month..... Go Me

Topic: Charlotte - South Side Support 9/30

Just a reminder that we're meeting tomorrow:

7:00 pm at Panera Bread in Ballantyne Village

I'll try to get us a place in the back... just click on my profile so you know what I look like.

The purpose of this meeting is simply to get to know others in our area that have had (or planning to have) WLS so we can support and encourage each other.

If you want, please bring some "before" pictures, and any helpful tips/hints that you'd like to share.

If you haven't already, please PM me to let me know you're coming so I'll know how many seats to save.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Laura

Topic: In the 170's

I'm in the 170's. YAY!!! I weighed 178 but it's in the 170's right. I'm not far from Dr.'s goal 153. So the tool is working. I've been a slow loser. But at least I'm losing. I'm on track. At 6 month check up I had lost 60% of my weight. He said, I was right on target. Looking forward to the 160's. Teresa M.
My ticker reflects the weight loss after surgery. I lost 47 lbs. before surgery. Total weight loss 120. YAY!!!

I would suggest Dr. Paul Ross at Spartanburg Regional 864-560-7070 he has no additional charges. He's also a very caring doctor.

I assume Dr. Ross accepts Medicaid? Thank you 1000 times for this info! I left the Bariatric clinic in Greenville Friday absolutely heartbroken because there was no way I could afford the extra payments. All I want is to be able to lose this extra weight so my back will stop hurting (3 spianl surgeries in 3 yrs) so I can go back to work. I haven't worked in over 10 yrs now. Thanks again. I'm going to have my wife call first thing in the morning!
