Breaking News:A Star is Born

Hi Everyone, I just Valerie Curry on the Med Break segment for NBC Channel 4 here in Columbus. Dr. Needleman and Valerie both spoke about WLS and the personal benefits and they showed before and after pics of her. Congratulation Valerie and thank you for your contribution in sheading a positive light on WLS. When you come to the Hospital when I have my surgery I want you to autograph my wrist band. By the way you look fabulous. Georgeann

I was so excited when I wrote the above post ... what I meant to say was I just saw Valerie on Med Break ... sorry.

Wish I could get that channel, but I don't. I hear she will be on WBNS Jan. 8, '05, at (gulp - I think) 7:30 pm, showing the workouts she and her DH do. So I will watch her then. Isn't she a doll? She's my Angel and I'm proud to tell the world that!!! By-the-way, I have an Aunt who is a nun and her name is Sister Georgieanna . She's "only" 94, so she doesn't resemble you much, . Hugs, Susie

Thank you very much for this information Susie, I will mark my calendar so I don't miss this program. Wow, you have a wonderful angel and your Aunt has a lovely name. Georgeann

OMG!!! I am soooo flattered! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You will get much more than an autograph I will give you a big ol (gentle) hug too!!! I want to do just that. To be able to help others with wls and show that it can make such a positive difference. It has made such a difference in my life, and I want to be able to help others as best I can through their own journeys. I fully believe in the pay it forward principal! Thank you for your kind, kind words! I am so excited for you because I know what is ahead for you! Much love! Val

Val, I can't wait either!!! Who loves ya girl??? Hugs, Susie

That is so neat! Congrats Val. Maybe it's a start of a new career ;)

That would be neat! Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun doing it. I was really suprised when they asked me! I just giggled like a school girl! I never envisioned being on tv after all was said and done!

Val, Now you are a star to the world. You've always been a star to us! Sister Georgie, thanks for bringing this to our attention! And I will continue to remember you in my prayers, for a highly successful surgery and uneventful recovery. Kitty B.

You guys are my stars! I am so amazed at the support and friendship that is on this board. Thank you for supporting me as well! This board is my daily dose of whatever I need to get me going in the right direction. Thanks for all the kind words everyone...I hope I can make you all proud. I am constantly talking about my family here and how this is such a great place for support. And yes, Sister Georgie, you know you have been in my thoughts and prayers and you we are gonna get you through this too! Thanks Kitty B! BIG BIG HUGS!!!!
