Patienlywtng on my Curves

I will be the official Booster until my time and turn comes. Praying for a successful outcome.

Congrats on your success! Sounds like you are in a very good place! You aren't that far in distance to me. Glad to know someone else is near!

Thank you Longer-Life and Liliana. I appreciate the Welcome.

Hi All, I have been searching around, making comments here and there, posts, etc., but never formally came to say 'Hello'. I am here because I have seriously considered WLS. With determination I am set to research all I can! I love this site. Since being here I have learned a great deal and have become obsessed with finding out as much as I can during the Pre-Op hurdles. I keep reading that the participants here are helpful...but I still have some unanswered questions...LOL! I went to the Bariatric Support Meeting tonight in my area and I'm glad I did. I've had my initial consult. Will see the medical doctor and the nutrionist in 3 weeks and month 1 will be underway! I hope to gain more from all who have come or will come and share their experiences. So with that said...I am formally introducing you to someone who will become a 'former' ________________. There is a woman inside waiting to emerge and embrace Excellent Living! ~Lyn T.

Much Success to you!

I know that had to be a great feeling for your surgeon to affirm that it definitely was your day! That is awesome! Much success to you!

I have to do the six month program. I don't mind in that I need to get things together and have time enough for my mom to make arrangements to come stay with me for at least a week. I had my initial consult with the Surgeon and and I will see the Medical Dr. and Nutritionist on 2.27. That appointment marks my 1st month. I will be believing God with you. I could not do this without relying on Him. My mind has turned 180 degrees regarding WLS. I still have an uneasiness because it is major surgery, but I'm still determined!

I have used Nioxin for years. So I think starting now would not hurt at all. Even when my hair wasn't shedding I continued to use it and it performed wonders for me. I was thinking of purchasing their vitamins as well.

Hi, You write with a positive attitude...which is a great thing. I am excited as well, but I have months to go before even the end of the phase. A fellow Alumnus received her RNY through OSU Medical Program. That was several years ago and she has spoken with me and encouraged me as well. Much success to you and keep us updated. ~Lyn T.

Do you mind emailing the list to me as well. I am not able to view it either. Reediscovered@gmail.com Thank you

Great Motto! It is sure to be encouragement for all who have let their Sexy 'wane'. BTW...Way to Rock The Sleeve!

Bedhead...what am I doing wrong? I signed up both accounts and have received the emails but not the coupons. Please help? :-(

Congratulations on your Success! I was wondering if the feet will actually shrink. I'm in a 10 now and still have some shoes I do not want to part with. Oh Well...that will be a good thing. Again, Congrats and enjoy Vegas!

Congratulations! You look great!

I will be happy to NOT be camera shy! SMH My mother hates that I don't want to take photos when the family is together. I am looking forward to the cute clothing, but I must say I do have some cute pieces now! I will just have more of them Coming Soon!

I was just thinking about couponing this morning. I also visit Big Lots occasionally and find some great deals. I will now pay more attention to the Protein powders and the like. I did see one by Slim Quick or something like that for $10. Was just wondering if it even tasted good enough to buy. Thanks for the info and please keep them coming.

Hi there, You will have to do just what your user name says! Though you do not like what has happened, all things happen for a reason. But don't stop your journey there. It may just lead to a different Avenue. If it brings you back here, it will happen with no stress, no hitches, and no interferences! Much success to you in whatever you do for your health! ~LynT

Great going! It's encouraging to read all of the posts, but especially ones such as this. Much success to you! I hope to join the ranks soon! ~LynT

Much success to you!

So, I've read in some posts that many are cold after the surgery. I am already cold natured with Iron Deficiency Anemia, have had a transfusion and Iron infusions. Do you think this will be more severe for me after the surgery? I do plan on reminding the office at my next appointment. Any thoughts?

I am believing mine will be August or September. Since my initial NUT appt. is this month, this will be month 1 for me.
