Today was my last meal and I really wasn't going to do this but I had a $100 certificate to Mitch's Sushi and had to use it so I had sushi for dinner. I had subway for lunch. The sushi was really good however I know I ain't going to eat the rice next time but the ahi was really good and so was the spicy tuna. I think Post op I am going to invest in these poke stores.

Attention Maui folks! Dr. Cirangle and Dr. S. Larry Schlesinger are teaming up for a symposium and support group for those thinking about weight loss surgery. How do I qualify? What are my options? Will insurance pay? Will my diabetes go away? How much weight will I lose?

How exciting for you & how nice that everything is working out this way. The day will be here before you know it.
I wish you the very best.

Mahalo ladies!!!

Awwwww.... I feel so much love from this Hawaii board! You all have made my day, honestly!

The encouragement here just lifts my spirits!

I know what you mean.  I took my son for his 1 year check up.  I wasn't sure if the doc was doing my son's or my physical.  He was asking me if diabetes, high blood pressure run in my family.  I said yeah, but luckily I don't have diabetes for an overweight person .

He started asking me about my family eating.  Mind you my son is not off the chart for his weight only his height.  He said that I have to be careful what I feed my kids.   I'm looking at him...are you diagnosing me or my son? 

And that was not the first time....I took my two boys for their football physical.  Physician asked to put my son in this obesity program for kids.  I told them straight "NO"!  He ask me why...I said "if my kids just stay home and do nothing I would consider the program, but they are active year round"  And they are not even close to being obese....mind you we have Polynesian bone.

I had so many stories with physicians because of my weight, and yes I did cry tell my hubby.  And my hubby wanted to talk to them, but told him...I don't want to waste our energy.  Its not worth it.  Yes, sometimes that will always stick with you, but in reality they are really "NOBODY" to me.  They can kiss my BIG BROWN A$$!    I have nothing but LOVE  BABY!!!
