My surgery was re-scheduled to next week, due to my waking up today with bronchitis. I am so tired. Ug. On the other hand, I can EAT today, rather than fast for tomorrow. Garlic City, here I come.

Hi, I am now in Az. Looking to attend support groups for sure. I also taught one in Tampa Fl for my gastric bypass doctor, so I am experienced. I find it necessary to help keep off the weight. Hoping to meet other gastric bypass people here in Az. Gail

Lizzie,
You continue to be in my prayers. It seems you drew the short straw all the way around. Please let us know how you're doing. I sincerely hope the additional surgery gets you back on the road to good health.

Hi Joyce,

Unfortunately not...I started my WLS journey with another program and they are not happy that i have switched programs and they are taking their sweet time faxing over my records to Banner and of course they have my psych eval that Banner needs before they can submit to my insurance.

I have left message after message. It is very frustrating!

Yes I will see you at support group...I will be the one sneaking in late.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jeannie

With Positive Thoughts, JeannieO.

Topic: RE: Finding Positive!

I am thankful for BEING ALIVE DESPITE THE COMPLICATIONS FROM MY ERNY

Since WLS, I am able to BREATHE, SLEEP BETTER

I have lost 181 LBS

One thing I DO NOTlook forward to this Holiday season is BEING IN THE HOSPITAL YET AGAIN AND A LENGTHY RECUPERATIVE PROCESS AS I GET MY ERNY REVERSED SO THAT I CAN FINALLY ABSORB ANY VITAMINS AND FOOD, REVERSING EACH OF THE SEVERAL ILLNESSES THAT HAVE RESULTED THEREFROM. THEN I CAN GET ON WITH MY LIFE AND NOT THINK ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE MISTAKE OF ONE YEAR AGO. MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO ANYTHING AGAIN, BUT NOT THIS YEAR.

Come on out and play Arizona! Let's chase away the "bummers"!!!

P.S. Don't forget to plan support groups into your Holiday agenda! (tonight, Saturday and next Tuesday! ...Tues is 6:30 at Mimi's in Chandler)

I am thankful for ?   my handsome hubby, my fun and supportive family, my fabulous job with the best plastic surgeon in the entire world, my great friends and my improved health! (can I sink to a shallow level and say I'm thankful for my single digit size? LOL!)

Since WLS, I am able to?  do distances on my own 2 ft, wear a variety of styles from any store, work in the industry with my peeps while I try and pay it forward, & live with confidence and joy rather than paranoia and anger!

I have lost ? 163 pounds and after a little revision tweak in Dec of 07, I have been able to maintain that weight loss....7 years post-op in Feb!!!!

One thing I look forward to this Holiday season?   is FOOD! Just kiddin! ...It's been a slow process, but over these past 7 yrs, I've finally started looking forward to everything BUT the food! ....Reinventing traditions...5K on Thanksgiving morning, hikes with my kids during the Christmas break! Good times!!!!
