Where are you in the process......

HEY ... YOU LIVE IN SUMMERVILLE ... WHY DON'T YOU COME THIS EVENING TO OUR LOWCOUNTRY BYPASS BUDDIES MEETING? THERE ARE ALWAYS AT LEAST 2 MEN THERE ... MY HUSBAND, NICK, & MASTER SOLAR WHO HAS HAD WLS ALONG WITH HIS WIFE, MS MERLON. I THINK MS KYLEE SAID THAT HER HUBBY IS COMING & SO IS MS SCORRO'S HUSBAND ... IT'S GOING TO BE AT JASON'S DELI IN NORTHWOODS MALL BETWEEN BOOKS-A-MILLION & SEARS AT AROUND 5:45-6:00pm. WE ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME. I GUESS WE HAVE ABOUT 20 PEOPLE WHO COME WHEN THEY CAN & USUALLY HAVE AROUND 10-12 PER WEEK. THE INVITATION IS ALWAYS OPEN ... COME ANY TIME. DAWN & NICK ... & ALL THE LCBBuddies

Hang in there David, I went through the same thing. Might help if you get their criteria and quote it to them. If you follow everything word for word, they have a hard time denying. If I can help, let me know. Susann

I will not QUIT. I have seen too many remarkable stories here on OH, to let this stop me. Susann, and Lady D thank you personally for the kind words and I am looking forward to next weeks meeting.

OHHH, THAT'S TOO COOL MASTER DAVID ... WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!!!!!!!!!

34 DAYS POST OP ... DOWN 34 #s ... &, THAT WAS WITH AN 11-DAY STALL INCLUDED!

Hey everyone... I am pre-op...my date is January 10th. I am excited and scared all at the same time!!! --Kelly

WELL, A GREAT BIG "CONGRATS" TO YOU, MS KELLY. AWWWHHH, THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SCARED ABOUT. I TOLD MS SUSANN THAT IT WAS A "WALK IN THE PARK" BUT SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. THEN, WHEN SHE CAME OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, SHE HAD TO ADMIT IT WASN'T AS BAD AS SHE "IMAGINED". I TOLD MS SCORRO THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAIN BUT SHE HUNG ON TO THAT MORPHINE PUMP "JUST IN CASE" ... &, YUP, SHE ADMITED THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAIN. SO, JUST FOCUS ON ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT ARE GONNA HAPPEN TO & FOR YOU BECAUSE OF THE TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR HEALTH! IT'S THE BEST RIDE YOU WILL EVER TAKE! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

I am 8 weeks out and down 36, feeling better, and able to walk without my legs hurting.

I am one year and two months post op and I have lost 133 lbs. ~Alicia Morrison 353/220/180
