Hi Michelle! WOW you look great. We are neighbors! I live in Benbrook also. I am having going in for surgery in January, and having it on Feb 10th. I was in the Benbrook paper last year, you might have caught my story, and my family and I were also on John Walsh. (Day show). You can check it out on my website if you're interested. I will post it at the end here. I have been waiting to be approved for surgery for 7 years! It feels so great to finally be approved for surgery! WOOO HOOO! I would love to keep in touch with you, if you want. Take care! You are a great inspiration to me! ---J.J. http://www.takingmylifeback.com [email protected]

Hi Michele...just finished reading your profile and wanted to say how incredible you look and to tell you CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's really funny...I have BCBS too and just got approved on August 20th (my surgery is coming up soon, October 14th) and the part of your profile when you were waiting on approval sounds just like mine...it really was SOOOO nerve racking! Anyway...way to go Michele!!!! : )

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side.

Michele, Just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your surgery. May it be uneventful and your recovery speedy. Just think, it really is going to be a whole "new" year. A happy, healthier, thinner one at that! Happy Holidays :o)

Hi Michele!!!You are on your way!! I know this is a scary and exciting time for you. You are going to do just fine!!! Just think, You are starting a journey that only a few travel. You should be very proud of yourself. I am proud of you!!!! Think of some of the new things you will be able to do like take a long bike ride, get on a amusement park ride and not worry if you will fit in the seat, cross your legs and the best of all have the energy to do these things!!! Everything will be just fine and know you have a wonderful group of people here to help you meet your needs. The best of luck on your surgery with a speedy and healthy recovery!!
