Topic: New Year New Me
I ran across an old journal and I had made a list of things I wanted to change about myself and a few of the things on it were my weight, my teeth, contact lenses, my hair, and my nails.
Jan 6th I go in for a consultation with a dentist for a Snap On Smile. Then Feb. 1st is my surgery. So I figured for my birthday in March I'm going to get a couple sets of different length extensions for my hair. April is fancy new fingernails for Spring but im trying to decide what I want to do for myself for the rest of the months of the year to continue my transformation and I'm running out of ideas. .I already wear contacts but maybe I can get some violet ones for fun I dont want to go for plastics until next year because I don't think my body can handle more than 2 surgeries in a year (Had my gall bladder and appendix out in June 2011) anybody got any ideas?

I'm doing great! My surgery was Aug 23,2010 . I was 218 pds and I'm now down to 135 pds and still losing! I had a tummy tuck that Dr Georgen did on Nov 29,2011.. I am so happy that I found Dr Georgen! He is wonderful!

HI!! Unfortunately this WI board is pretty quiet. I check it out pretty often to meet 'locals' from WI, and UP. You may find you'll meet more of your Dr's pts. if you post in the RNY forum. I've met quite a few people with your Dr. from my area, altho I chose someone else for my VSG.
How have you done so far? Hope you'll stick around on this forum. It would be nice to have a WI group for support. Best wishes in this journey!

Hi!
I am hoping to have an RNY. I am 26, 5'5" and 256 lbs. My IC is UHC.
Today I submitted all my info to the surgeon's office. They will go over it all and let me know what else I need before they submit a request to the IC. I hope they approve me soon... I am not very good at being patient
