I have gone MIA from this site for a long time.  I have been out living life and doing things that my weight  (once upon a time hindered)  For those of you who dont know me  I started out weighing over 300 lbs and now I am down to 118  from a size 26/28 to a size 2. I have posted some pictures from our recent trip to Disneyworld.  There was no way I could have done that at 300 plus pounds

Would I have this surgery again?  You betcha! Even if the first few months were kind of rough.

Just thought I would check in.

Hi Jenn,

It looks like they may be covering bariatric surgery. I found the following posting on the Lapband forum. You may want to contact some of the members that said that they have information about WLS coverage through NC Medicaid. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/LapBand/4491949/Looking-for-anyone-whos-had-Lap-Band-who-has-NC-Medicaid/

Wishing you all the best,

Hi all,

It's weird when you can't keep your eyes open so you go to bed only to lay awake.  Why is that?

Anyway, today is recycling, post posters around in libraries, support group, staff meeting, may do some networking in the community, conference call then home.  Spend the rest of the day with hubby.  Sounds like a full day.  A good day. 

What about you all?

Hi all,

Nice and chilly out there huh?  I won't be out much today that is for sure.  Have to take mom-in-law to church this morning but I think that's about it for outside.

Today I have to prepare for my support group tomorrow.  I have finally done my filing! I have a bit more to do in the office.  It's weird.  I used to spend so much time back there when we lived here before.  Now my office is my lazyboy recliner. What does that mean??? Don't answer that lol.

Have a good day all.

Hello all,

Getting myself too busy again.  I guess that's good lol. 

People have been asking me about the support group I am starting at Curves. This is only the beginning.  Since our Curves has a Wellness Center associated with it, we have many of the tools needed to succeed in weight loss.  I am going to be starting a  lot of new groups in the future and hopefully a bariatric group as well.  I know many of you probably have been to a Curves and left unsatisfied.  I'd like to change that opinion and I am working on that as we speak.  It doesn't have to be boring.  It can be fun, educational and exciting!  My boss and I share the same vision and together we want to build it like no other Curves. 

We are working on a March event that is sure to be a lot of fun!  I will have more info later.

Today I am going to a business lunch at Perkin's in Apex. Then I have to stop by Curves to see if the room I will be using is set up.  After that, not sure.

What are you up to today?
