Surgeon Testimonial David C. Voellinger, M.D. 4/23-I am just starting...I picked my doctor based on his personality at the seminar and the vibe I got from him. He is real straight forward and personable. My partner felt real comfortable form the get go as well. The staff is knowledgable, helpful, returns emails REAL quick..I love them so far and I will keep you updated all! Member Interests

Today is a good day on May 13, 2008 1:25 pm I am having a great day today...it just hit me! Things seem to be giong better with the "support issue". I am so in love with my partner, I am thankful for my career (jobs are becoming few and far between lately) and I have six furry creatures who brighten my day! Finally have a couple people in my life I can call "friends" (I am very picky on who I call a friend). I just felt like gloating to let everyone how happy I am today...well, 'cept I am still fat...damn...!

Take back the prior post on April 29, 2008 3:49 pm I just read my prior post and must have been having an emotional day. Kills me because I am not emotional!! My mom asked me some info about the surgery today. That is a good first step, I think to her being supportive. No mother wants to see there child go under the knife so to speak. My partner..that is different. I know she is tied up with school. I am just so freaking happy to have you guys. What a difference you all have made...and that is from a huge skeptic of internet forums, support groups, etc. Thanks.

on April 27, 2008 6:50 am Jitters and Support
Be the first to leave a comment.Does anyone feel like they just do not/ didn't get the support they were expecting? My mother said I was stupid and I should exercise (100 lbs is hard to lose!) and it seems like my partner is not as enthused as myself, wants to talk about it as much as me, etc. etc. I understand no one will be as excited as me, but damn...can I get a shoulder to lean on?? Maybe it is jitters and I am looking for excuses, blaming everyone but me. I found out yesterday, my wife wants to move like in a month to FL for school. Not only can I not pick up and move, find a job, and a house within that time frame, BUT I AM GETTING SURGERY!!!!! I thought it was not cool of her to even think about that right now. Last thing I knew was that we were staying her for another 6 months to a year then moving. I told her we may just have to find a room for her to rent until I can get there. Can I tell you that just renting a room in Miami is $600+...crazy. I don't know. I wanted to rant. I have so many emotions going through me and it drives me crazy that I cannot control them. My Story Hey, Well, my name is Sommer. I, as you all may guess, have come here to look for people with the same goals and experiences as myself. I am pre-op as of today 4/23/08. I have been debating on this for a long time and decided to just do it! |
. She has been my partner for the past three years and boy am I a poster child for getting fat in a comfortable relationship! 
. My starting weight is 242lbs today. I was a bit over 250 and have managed to get 10 off and keep it off. I carry it well and consider myself very attractive, but this all will not be good for me in the long run and it is time to make a change!! I eat a vegan diet...we do exist! I have been vegan for approx 6 months which is very hard in the south (NC) and I have been a vegetarian for 16 or so years.
