Good morning everyone,

I hope you're all having a great week. Well...it's finally here. I'm so nervous right now and can hardly sit. My friend is picking me up in about half an hour and my check in is at 9am. Thank you for your good vibes and nice thoughts. Hope to see you on the loser's bench x0x

Be safe and well, B.B.

I'm OK, gained a bit of weight and lost a LOT!

I have gained approx. 35 lbs after losing 108 after surgery in June 2014.

I also lost my daughter on March 9, 2019. She was almost 34 years old. The oldtimers may remember that my daughter had a lot of health issues which took her by surprise. We were planning for her kidney transplant but she was not able to get healthy enough.

I gained my grandsons. I always had my grandsons, but now they live with me and I have custody. They are now 11 and 12 so I became their parent.

Time to get healthier.

My good friend Bruno is contemplating this surgery so I gave him the link to this group and realized how far I've let myself slide. OK I had bigger fish to fry so I'm just going to get back on track.

Topic: RE: I'm frightened after reading some of these posts. Stalling made me give up losing weight in the past

Preach.

Losing 220 pounds was much easier than the 4+ years since maintaining that loss.

Believe the vets. It's work, effort and commitment.

Topic: Still trying to get Surgery.

The last few months I couldn't ever stand to think about surgery. About a week before I was scheduled for the operation, my insurance rejected my authorization. They said it wasn't in my policy, which turns out they're right, however when my doctor spoke with them before I started my journey to meet all the requirements, they said I was covered. Needless to say I was heartbroken and looking at anything surgery related made me feel upset. Well, my sister sent me a link to a different surgeon who's cost is lower. Her and her husband are willing to finance me (They're angels on Earth). So I have an appointment on March 18th for a consultation with the new doctor. Im trying not to get my hopes up because I'm afraid I'll be disappointed again.
