Ladies & Gentlemen,

Last chance to join in the OH Fashion Show at the NY Conference October 22nd! 

Anyone interested in participating in the fashion show for the Long Island, NY OH conference on October 22, 2011 please contact me to provide information and photos at [email protected].

The OH Fashion Shows are open to anyone who wants to participate. After having surgery and working so hard to stay on track, you deserve to show off a bit!  We ask that you send high resolution "before" photos and a brief blurb stating your surgeon's name, surgery type, starting weight and current weight (your choice). OH will put them all together to be shown on a large screen while you strut your stuff on the catwalk to music! This starts at 8pm on Saturday evening and we ask that you provide the outfit that you would like to be photographed in! To keep with our schedule, you may be asked to join the other models by 7:45pm that evening to coordinate the lineup.

Upon submitting your photo, you are giving ObesityHelp your permission to use your likeness on our website or in our magazine.

Any other questions? Just ask!!!

Hello Newbie Post-ops!

I am almost four years out and just stopped in to welcome you. I'm doing great, maintaining a 140lb loss, and working the tool for everything its worth.

I want to let you know that you have lots of support here; and I want to encourage you to reach out often during this roller coaster ride. Seek help when you need it, cheer about your accomplishments and nsv's (non-scale victories) and crow about your weight loss. You will not find a better group of cheerleaders anywhere!

And please try to make it to the IGTs if you can. Its a very uplifting experience!

hi!!  you're probably the closest to me so far!!  i had mine the 27th of sept by dr. williams at hup
i'm so glad to be home!!  how are you doing?

Wow...I am almost 7 years out after Gastric Bypass and I still think of my surgeon as my Hero! I'm not sure what I'd do if he disappeared. I used Dr Abkin and he works with Dr Iannace that Sugarpie used. Their main office is in Florham Park, but they also operate out of St. Peter's in New Brunswick and JFKin Edison, so that should be close to where your Doctor Baptiste was. I would highly recommend their practice and they have a well rounded program whi*****ludes not only the presurgery support and education, but ongoing support afterwards. Give their office a call 973-410-9700 to see if they participate with your insurance. Good Luck on your journey!

I  can so relate having issues with friends, I have had some issues with my BFF and it sucks! I was always the fat friend and I feel like she has issues with me being smaller than her now.. it stinks but I can not let it get me down or mess with my head.. don't let it get to you either!

Good luck!

Stella
