Looking for peers here in NC...

Hello all....I'm Sarah B and I'm from Raleigh NC. I am waiting for my insurance to be submitted....very soon I hope..I have finished all pre-op testing. Dr Malik @ TSA will be my surgeon. I have had all positive experiences with him and the office staff. I'm excited=0) I'm looking for peers in the area. Hope to hear from you all TTFN Sarah =0)

Sarah: My surgery is 11/11 with Dr. Malik. Isn't he awesome? And you're right, the folks at TSA are absolutely the best. Good luck on your insurance approval! My fingers are crossed for you. Christine

Hi SueBee OH WOW you really are VERY close to the date! Mary

Hello Sarah. My surgery date is Nov. 3, with Dr. Alan Brader. Please come in chat (8:00 every evening) and you will meet people from all over the state at various stages. I started out with Dr. Malik, but changed surgeons when his office staff messed up on my insurance. It happens. No big deal. We each chose our own paths. My angel, Ann Greer-Faison had her surgery with Dr. Malik on October 6. She is also a part of the WLS group and seems to be doing okay after a rough start. Get someone as your angel (from the main Obesityhelp.com board) and you will find the support is fabulous.

Hi Vickie...Ann is your Angel Huh?? How Neat!!! We have emaild a couple of times and I have called her but she was out. I hope to speak to her soon. I was going to go to the meeting Sunday...but had no one to watch the boys=0( I'm going to try very hard to make the next one though. She has seemed to be pleased with her surgery so far And I'm glad she is doing so well. I had looked at Dr Brader before I went with Dr Malik. It just happend to be that everything just progressed right along with TSA. Congrats to you and everyone with up coming surgery dates!!! =0) Sarah

Yep, actually we are each other's angel. I was there for her surgery and visited her in the hospital. I haven't talked with her recently because she hasn't felt well and I didn't want to bother her. She was supposed to go back to work yesterday full time, so I know that she's exhausted. She was having a hard time getting in her protein and thus couldn't get her engery level back up. When she feels better she'll give me a call, until then I will just hope that she's doing good.

You all shouldn't be talking about me, lol. i am at work so this will be brief. I am very tired. I think I went back to work too soon but need the money soooooooooooo. i still can not get the stupid protien thing going i have lost 33 pds . it has been hard but worth it. i live off breath mints and water, did i say water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ? I will chat soon with you all. i got to get energy. Love ya all

Hey....at least it got a response!!! Now I know how to get you to talk to me!!!

Ann, It's all good. Why couldn't we all just be rich so we wouldn't have to worry about going to work. I say that I and I don't even have a job!! I need one though=0) really bad!! I'm glad to hear you are making it. That is a great thing!!!! Hang in there girl.....** Hugs** Sarah =0)
