Topic: Restarting secret pals?! reposting
Hi all Readers
I have in the past been apart of doing secret pals and I have been looking into doing it again, but it doesn't seem to be running so I am looking to see if maybe I could restart it myself! I first would like to see if there is any members in joining in and becoming secret pals. Also I would like to know if I need to be a OH leader to do it so if any OH leaders is reading this can you please notify me with the answer to that question please and thanks. I loved how well it went for me and know the things I received I still use today and hopefully the things I sent my pal she is enjoying
Any and all comments are needed thanks all!!!

Topic: RE: Dr. Aceves vs Dr. Ortiz
I originally was set up with Dr. Ortiz, impressed by the hype. But I read a couple of mediocre reports on his surgical facility, and changed my mind. Meanwhile EVERYTHING I read about Dr. Aceves was glowing. I had to sacrifice my $500 deposit. But it was all OK, because I just had my gastric sleeve surgery July 9th with Dr. Aceves, and the experience was excellent. He is an experienced, and super careful surgeon; 3 separate leak tests were done to make sure the sleeve was tight. Also, Dr. Aceves, along with his colleague Dr. Campos(who himself had the sleeve surgery!) practice in a real, fully-equipped hospital. It is a very clean, private facility, with the state of the art equipment. Also the environment was so quiet & restful, not like most noisy, stressful hospitals in the States. I was able to really recover quickly. Often thought I was in a hotel! The nursing staff was so attentive, responding to my calls very quickly. They guide you through the whole process smoothly and professionally. I say, hands down, Dr. Aceves is your man!
Topic: Horror Stories - Weight Gain
I keep hearing horror stories about others who have WLS and gained the weight back. The last story I heard (yesterday) the person had the WLS about 15yrs ago (not sure which one) but gained her weight back. This would be traumatizing to me emotionally. I exercise 3-4 days a week for about 1-1 1/2hrs each session. I have noticed my appetite has increased (sweet tooth also). I try to average between 1200-1300 calories a day and I am 9mo post sleeve.
Any words of encouragement...scare tactics are also welcomed.

Thanks for the information. My husband who is paying for my surgery refuses to let me go to Mexico. I will be having it in the States.
Topic: RE: My WLS and my school project...
Yes! This exactly! I too have only recently started taking on accountability for everything.
This journey has truly opened my eyes to how dishonest I have been with myself over the years; to let myself get to this point.
Good luck Danny!

Topic: RE: Do Not let someone bully you
Hi
Thanks so very much for enjoying this. I will copy and paste it so everyone will have the opportunity to read it. I hate people who try to BULLY others. I guess after working in the School District for so many years, this was the main thing that I disliked the most and ALWAYS tried to stop it.
Hugs,
Suzanne
