FYI Virginia Premier was absolutely terrible to work with, Bluepoint doesn't accept them... fortunately I'm still new enough and within the 90-day window so I switched to Anthem, which Bluepoint DOES work with.

Had my info session this morning! It was great... made an appointment for my first consult.

I had rny surgery with Dr Halmi in 2010. I highly recommend them. I suggest you visit their web site for lots of helpful info. You will also find it beneficial to attend the monthly meetings prior to and after surgery. Web site has schedule. Also sign up for e-newsletter.

It is so worth it! Exercise now or at least by month 3 after surgery. Exercise and food choices and quantity are keys to success! Good luck! Best decision of my life!

“Although you want to change your ways, you always end up back at square one. Here's how to annihilate square one¦”

Do you realize you have the capability to do whatever you want? Okay, perhaps you can't fly, invent a time machine, or grow taller, but you can stick with an exercise program, eat healthily, and feel good about yourself. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Answer this: Who runs your brain? You do. Sure, other people have input data, but like a bad software virus, you can erase it.. well, at least you can put it in the background and ignore it. Instead of dwelling on failures, think of successes. Instead of setbacks, focus on goals. Instead of unhealthy behaviors, plan new strategies. You have a choice what you think about. Eliminate all negative thoughts from your mind. When you start stewing on them, replace them with positives. Think of the benefits and write down things you like about yourself. When you look in the mirror, don't allow the doubt to set in. Instead of " I am too fat!" or "I'll never lose weight” replace it with, "I like my eyes!" or "I'm so happy with my new hairstyle." By changing your mindset, you can move forward in life and give square one a run for its money.

Can't see it :(
