I have, like most everyone else, been big all my life. I have tried every diet and weight loss program and lost but gained back PLUS some every time. I was scheduled for the bypass surgery a year before I actually had it done. I changed jobs and had to restart the process. I went though NeWeigh in Houston Texas. My Dr is Dr J, and I had it done at First Street Hospital. WLS is not for everyone, but it was the best decision I made! Feel free to visit my URL at http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/bldwshd_group

RYD Conference
on May 27, 2008 6:18 pm
Ok, I know - why is he posting SOOO late after the conference. The truth - lazy. Thats all. Well as some know there was the RYD Conference the first weekend of May in Dallas. I must say - it was awesome!! I had the honor to be able to speak on Saturday. I spoke on the importance of support groups. I hope that those that were there enjoyed and learned something from my speech. It was such a good weekend. I was also in charge of the clothing exchange. That was great also. We had 9 banquet table stacked full of clothes. We ended up giving a car full of clothes - no rather a Ford Tauras station wagon full - to a local shelter. It was so good to se folks coming out of there wih handfulls of clothes.....

I hope to see yall at the next one. And I will need help with the clothing exchange again.....

Check out the pics from the conference at www.rydobesity.com And follow the links for the Dallas event and then photos.

Until next time......

It's not me....yet!

Ok everyone, time to posy.... last night I went to a get together with many other WLS folks. There were people 4 months to 4+ years post op. I can tell you, I had a BLAST!!! But....I did feal a little uncomfortable. Not from folks, just me. I am not used to the positive comments and attention. Being morbidly obese all my life, I was used to the negative stuff. This blew me away last nite! I am not a dancer, so that did not help out much. But I must say, it was weird to have people ask me to dance!!! I hope I hurt no one by saying no, but I'm just not ready yet....

I will say this - the hard outer shell that I have has been cracked, not broken but cracked. Soon I will be able to fit in and have a blast, not fealing weird......

Hey there everyone. I know I have not been on here or posted on the forums for awhile. All is good. Down from 422 to 268. Cant be happier. Life is good. I can say that I have learned that cooking after WLS SUX!!!! It is so hard to cook knowing I will only eat so little.
I kinda got off the wagon. Not overeating, but just not eating the right stuff. I have stopped and will be doing a hard core protien shake thingie the next couple few weeks. Need to start the loosing again. the plateau is getting OLD.
Thanks for all the support from everyone. Love yall.

My Story

I was scheduled for the Gastric Bypass back in 2006.  I was unable to get the time of from work at the time.  It all went down hill from there. I put it off and put it off.  I have a good friend who had the surgery around the same time I would have.  His wife had the surgery a little after.  I can KICK MYSELF for not haveing it.  They both look SO GOOD.  I can not wait until I have mine done.  When I first got on this site I was 420.  Now I am 402.  I am awaiting the approval now.  I changed jobs and as a result change insd companies.  The new one denied after first letter and then resubmitted appeal on Friday 4-20-07.  Now its a waiting game.  I will keep all posted as progression happens.
