Topic: RE: Surgeon Recommendations for a VSG?

I used Dr William Johnson in John's Creek.

I was very pleased with him and his office staff.

Topic: LGBT forum invitation

Hello,
I just wanted to let people know and anyt there is a forum for the community and anyone who is friendly and want to stop by. I was very active 3 years ago and would like to see it become active again.   It is listed under "weight loss related"

I am not attempting to offend anyone. I understand that some might not agree with me posting. I am doing it to help LGBT people. Everyone has the right to not agree. I respect that.

                                                             Thank You !

                                                                    Sean

If you have trouble finding it just PM me

YOU CANNOT GIVE SOMEONE HELP........YOU CAN OFFER HELP, IT IS UP TO THE OTHER PERSON TO ACCEPT OR REJECT IT !!!

Valarie, you look amazing! I have not had surgery yet, and I will not be having the same surgery as you, but I sure as hell hope that I have the same success as you.

Congratulations on your success. It looks like we share a Surgery Month - August 2010. I had a VSG and I have lost a tolal of 100 lbs after the surgery and 85 lbs before for a total of 185 lbs since August 2009. I have recently seen a regain of 10 lbs over the Holidays so I will be kicking up the activity starting next week to get back on track. Are you still counting calories and Protein?
