Hello Everyone,

Its been a few months since I updated. I am doing good. Down 97lbs since
surgery and felling great. Everything is going good. I have been exercising
but looking to start a gym so I can start building muscle. Eating is okay but I
still have times when i react to something and usually its something I have
eaten before. Guess I am still getting use to things. Over all i fell like I
am on the right track for the most part. I have been eating protein and veggies
but I have also been eating some carbs. Trying to create a balance with a
concentration on protein. Its been hard sometimes because there are things I
can’t have or realy don’t want to have. Maybe more miss then anything. I am
feeling okay about though, not feeling deprived or like im starving. I enjoy
learning this new way of life and I am thankfull every day thats its working for
me the way it should. I know that with every effort on my part, will make my
progress go that much faster. Thanks for everyone support

Hi all,
Sorry I dont get to post much. I do read what I can though. Things have been
really hectic around here. May 18th will be my 6 month post op anniv. as of
today I am down 110 pounds. Moving VERY VERY slowly now. But with everything
going on I have no time for exercise. I know make time. But thats IMPOSSIBLE but
after next week I will have MUCH more time on my hands. THANK GOODNESS!

Also, My sister is looking into having the surgery. She has Oshner ins and I
was wondering if anyone has been approved with them. I know I can go to
obesityhelp.com but In the little bit of time i had to go look i couldnt find
the
ins part.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Crystal

Hello, I am trying to locate anyone who had a problem with their
adjustable gastric band. My daughter had a perforation and had to
have it removed 3 days after she had it put in . she had to go into
surgery with a 105 temp and have it removed. I am looking for anyone
who had a similar problem. I would appreciate a reply.

thank you,

Hello everyone I am Alicia. I had WLS on February 12, 2004 at Haper-
Hutzel Hospital here in Michigan. I am currently 9 weeks out and
down 52 pounds (smile). I am so happy to have had this procedure
done because it was a LIFE SAVING TOOL for me. I have battled with
obesity for more than 18 years and it’s so amzaing how many different
diets I have tried both supervised and unsupervised. I look at the
progress that I am making with WLS and I am totally astounded at how
fast this works. Looking at myself now I sometimes become so
emotional knowing how hard I tried to lose this weight before and how
fast it’s melting off now. I hope to both give and receive
much "SUPPORT" from this group and look forward to meeting lots of
new people. Thank you for listening
