Topic: A little help cheering up my girl (part 3)
Thank You All For Your Help and Support. I was trying to cheer up my girl with a joke / prank. She has really been really down lately about the whole process. I found an old photo of her when she was 12 (bad hair photo) and posted it on Jones Soda Pop label page. To my surprise it got a lot of votes (over 850). You will get the joke when you see the photo. I finally told her on Friday. She laughed her butt off. Thank you all again for your help. Click the link below to see the photo. If you haven't voted yet, Please Vote 10.
PS She has a great sense of humor. Like I tell her It's what's inside that counts.

Topic: New: Challenge
How many of you remember what is was like to be new on the site or just fixing to have surgery. Did you have a surgery angel? There are many members who want an angel. It's not very hard to become an angel actually and it's a great way to give back to others.
I was even pre-op being an angel to others. It doesn't matter if you've had surgery or not it's just simply about giving support to another OH member. Letting them know we are here to help them through. I know right before surgery how scary it can be and just knowing that others care is a wonderful feeling. So this is my challenge.
I challenge those who have the time to contact a member that don't have an angel listed and see how you can help them. Sometimes we just need someone, ANYONE to talk with. You can make a difference in someone's life. Let them know they are not alone.
Here's a link on what an angel is exactly and there is a link on this page about who are needing angels. Locate someone near you, or they don't even have to be near you, email and phones work great too :)

If you are interested in helping OH by posting about the angel program or telling others on the site about it for the future please email me.

Topic: RE: Can Anyone Help Me? Thanks A Million In Advance.............
He did my surgery May 3, 2005. It took 4 1/2 hrs(revision from 20 years ago)-he probably just got done in time for the group session.
I think he and his staff are great. I go back Aug 11, for my 3 month check. I haven't had any problems.
Good Lucj.
Topic: Problems from Anesthesia??
Did you recover from your weight loss surgery, or other surgery, only to find months later you were still feeling the effects from the anesthesia? Did you have major complications from anesthesia? If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you. Please send a paragraph about yourself along with your name, phone number and email address to [email protected] to be interviewed by telephone for an article in ObesityHelp Magazine.

Topic: Help
Help! I was denied for the RNY surgery because I did not have One-year doctor supervised diet under my planner. I have been on Weigh****chers for a year, and many others. The only problem is I did not keep documentation of my diets. Please, any advice would help!!!
