Hello OH Members!
OH Magazine would love to hear from you!
You deserve to celebrate your accomplishments! How do you personally reward your weight loss successes with something other than food? Perhaps you treat yourself to a manicure/pedicure, a long bubble bath, clothing, a fishing trip or a concert when you have lost a certain amount of weight? Share your thoughts and experiences...your inspiration and insights may be featured in a future issue of OH Magazine.
I look forward to hearing from you! You can email me at [email protected] or post your thoughts here.
All my best,
Tammy Colter

Anything do to with the VBG, I am not in favor with, but that's just my opinion.
Try to find out more.
Good Luck! :)
It is like a permenant "band" that is not adjustable. The stomach is stapled and it is strictly restrictive.
Do a google search for images. A lot of people are getting revised from it due to complications.

SWAP don't SHOP
What: Clothes Swap with GA Losing for Life OH Support group
When: Saturday June 12, 2010 11:00am - noon
Cost: FREE, but please bring a few items if you plan to swap.
Bonus: FREE bariatric samples and door prizes!
Where: Henry Medical Center
1133 Eagle's Landing Parkway
Stockbridge, GA 30281
We will meet in the Foundation Education Building. Take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor. Look for the WLS support Group Sign.
Due to the clothing exchange, will not have out regular meeting on June 12th, but we invite you to join us the 2nd Saturday of every month thereafter for support meetings.
It's Clothes Exchange time!!! So, clean out your closets, and ask your family, friends, and co-workers to donate their gently used, clean clothes to your wls buddies.
It's so hard keeping up with your wardrobe as the pounds shed, so a clothing exchange is a great opportunity to give and take a few pieces to get you through your transition.
Pre-ops this is a GREAT opportunity to get all the awesome clothes others have shrunk out of. Our loss is your gain:-) The last clothing exchange I attended at the OH conference in November was a free for all for size 2x and up ladies. EVERYBODY had tons of bigger sizes to share.
Your non-wls family and friends are welcome to participate in the swap too, but please ask them to share some things if they are planning to take a few things away.
Please spread the word with your surgeon's office and support group. You do not have to be a member of the GA Losing for Life Group to participate. Everyone is WELCOME.
Feel free to share:
business and casual clothes, especially summer wear
sleepwear
fittness wear, sports bras, sweats, etc.
work out videos, and fittness equipment
bras, and hosiery
swimwear
shoes
purses
accessories
unused protein products, vitamins, and other wls friendly products
wls books, magazines, etc.
**** Please be courteous and only share clean items, and current styles in good condition with no rips, stains, or tears. You do not have to place items on hangers.
Please come join us!
* We will go somewhere nearby for lunch after the swap for those who want to join us.
Back to doing the right thing for me. Emotional eating is definitely the driving force behind my eating and I will use every tool available to combat a lifelong problem. Today, I am recognizing my emotional tie to the tomato soup and making sure I put the protein first.
This is why I keep coming back and reading this board!
