wishes

Thank you so much for sending me the booklet! I really appreciate it. Everyone on here seems so nice.

I am new to the forum, and I just wanted to say thank you for all the great support and information you have provided. I have learned so much!

Love the new profile pic! You look great!

Hey, I was reading through the forums and noticed Dr. Webb was your surgeon. Would you recommend him? And working with Novus Center?

Your ticker gave me the help I needed today. I was getting really depressed about the six month supervised diet, but seeing someone else go through it makes it easier to bear. Good luck with your journey!

Hey Emily! I was reading the Twenty something forum and I noticed you are also from Jville. Are you having your surgery with Novus Center and North Florida Surgeons?

Hey Leah, I was reading the Twenty something forum and I noticed you are form around Ann Arbor. I am going to be in Ann Arbor for about two months in the summer for a program at UMich. Do you know friendly GPs or nutritionists who might be able to help me with my six month supervised weight loss?

Aw, thank you that is such a great compliment. I really like to see the silver lining. Life is way too short to be caught up in the negative. Again congrats on hearing back on the sleep apnea test and moving forward on your journey! I know you will make this happen or keep on pushing til you do.

Yeah, I've got my appointments set until the end, but it still seems like forever and a day away. I am in month 2, but my third visit is on May 3rd so almost 50% there! I just feel discouraged I am not really losing any weight, but I am eating a lot healthier.

Hey Starshine! I was reading the Twenty's forum and saw you were from Jax too! Who are you doing your surgery with?

How are you doing, lady?

Aw, no problem, lady. We are all on the same boat here, hoping to have a better and healthier life. I just know how much August 4th means to me, so I wanted to make sure it was a good day for you too. Yeah, sometimes, our friends and family don't really know exactly HOW MUCH this really means to us. I am glad everything went okay, and I hope you hear back from your insurance soon!

Yay! Someone else getting sleeved in September. I am getting really excited now. Hope you are doing well preparing for surgery!

Hey, just thinking about you. How did the surgery go?

Hey! How are you doing?

I hope everything is going okay with your surgery! Keeping you in my thoughts.

Thank you for being such a positive force on the insurance forum. I have definitely been getting down about what might happen with insurance in five months when I complete the supervised diet.

He was a little abrupt, but I really do agree he is the best. He has been doing the sleeve the longest in Jacksonville, and he has really low rates of complication rates with his patients. That was a big reason I chose him. I also really love Novus. Susan and Megan have been so awesome with helping me through my insurance, and it is really nice to see what the sleeve has done for Megan and Jarrod!

Wow, I met my surgeon. He is definitely the quintessential curt doctor I imagined, but thankfully, he was able to answer all my questions and make me feel reassured about the surgery.

Not bad, you must be starting it really soon then. Yeah, I am right off Skipper, lol. What made you decide to go to Mexico?

50% complete with my six month supervised weight loss!

Hey-o! I did it! I am so happy I am sleeved. Just made it home to Tampa, and I am trying to sip and walk my way to recovery. Thank you guys for keeping me in your thoughts! I am doing good!

Trying to stay positive! I have been retaining so much water for the last couple of days. I hope the scale moves again soon. Good news though? I can start exercising again!

Hope everything is going well for you!

Sometimes I wonder what will happen if I jump through all the hoops my insurance throws at me, and I get denied.
