Sis. Betsy, I'm so glad I found your OH page! How wonderful to see your story and how you progressed to your current weight! Thank you for posting with such honesty and transparency. I'm also an Apostolic Pentecostal lady (I currently live in Apopka, FL, formerly of Newport News, VA) and looking into the LAP-Band procedure. I hope to have the procedure done before the end of this summer. I'd really like to have some significant weight loss before General Conference in Tampa where I expect to see my former pastors and friends from Virginia. Will you and your husband be there? If so, I'd love the chance to meet you, even for a few minutes...it's been years since we've been to a GC, but I remember well that it's very busy for ministers. Thank you again for sharing your experience. God bless! Michele

Betsy, I was reading all about your weight loss experience =) That's all very exciting. I'm in the process of getting mine approved. Hopefully I will know soon. I am also UPC and I noticed your beautiful picture and I knew right away you were a woman of God =)! I'm also very involved with music so I was excited to see that you were also. Have a great day!

Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Feel free to look at my profile and see my ups and downs and know I’d not change a thing with anything I’ve experienced. Everything was worth it! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 257/133 I’M AT GOAL!!!
