Topic: RE: Any post-op "old-timers"???
Hi Kim,
My thoughts on the "old-timers" is that they are probably out there. Tammy (for sure) and Jana (I think) are 3 years out now and they frequent the board. In the past the board was not as active. I have been going through profiles of people that had VBG surgery further in the past and am emailing them to come join us on the board. It is my thoughts that if we reach out for them they might just reach back as to us.

Happy 

6 Months to YOU!! -85 in 6 months is wonderful. Being successful at weight loss just changes the way we view ourselves... don't you think? I am continually amazed at the opportunities and blessings that surround my life. I wish you, luck, joy and happiness for this day and all the rest as you continue your journey to health.
Best, best regards...

PS -- Dont forget to give them your Profile Page Name, i.e. First Name, Last Name -- Sharon

To add a photo to your listing (which will also be added to your profile) you need to send a digital photo to the address below.
If you do not have a digital photo send them an email and ask for the mailing address and they can probably scan and put the photo into your profile for you.
FYI -- members of this site volunteer their time to add the photos... with that said it may take a little while for your photo to actually get added. It is certainly nice to have a picture trail on your profile though.

Thanks so much for your encouragement. I'm so sorry you were denied. Have you appealed yet? Maybe you need an example of a really good appeal letter? I'm sure someone in the VBG Forum has one or has access to one.
An Iowa girl, eh? We're great, aren't we? I live in Des Moines. Except for 6 years, I've lived here all my life. It was a great place to raise my kids!
Good luck to you!

Congratulations! I had surgery the day after you did and I've only lost 60 pounds! You make me look like a slacker! But, honestly, I'm proud of my weight loss and am energized, hopeful and I feel better than I have in 20 years!
It sounds like you're really committed to this battle of the bulge, and I have no doubt you will succeed!
All the luck in the world!!
