  1. Oh my gosh Anna, your weight loss is ASTOUNDING and you look AMAZING!!!

  2. Like you I had absolutely no gas and very little pain. I am so glad things are going so well and you will be amazed at how quickly you will feel better and how quick the weight will come off.

  3. Just checking in to see how everything went for you today! You will feel so much better in one week. I am so excited for you.

  4. Hey! I hate that you are feeling nervous before your surgery but of course I was the same way. What a great gift you are giving yourself and your family. I used to stay home so much because I didn't feel like being seen or well enough to walk around, so it really is a gift to everyone in your life because I am out constantly now. You asked why I chose Hoehn and I did because he was running the special, had a wonderful reputation and the main reason is that he has the Bariatric Center of Excellence rating. Ohio State University is right down the street from me and is a Bariatric Center of Excellence but I saved $9000.00 by traveling to Kansas. That included all of my expenses and I stayed in Kansas for 10 nights. You are in such good hands and I am so happy that you are close and will be able to attend support meetings. Try to stay busy and stay calm!

  5. Hey! I see you have your surgery date, how EXCITING! Wow, 17 days and you will be sleeved and you have such an incredible surgeon, I really think that helps a lot. I am so happy for you!

  6. Wow Renee, that is so exciting! You will be sleeved before you know it. I am losing slowly but surely, I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome so that really slows your weight loss. I am sure you will lose much faster than I am. I love being sleeved it is so easy! You can eat food that you have always eaten in much smaller quantities and you can still lose weight. Let me know when you get your date, Hoehn is wonderful!

  7. Everything is going well Sarah, I love being sleeved, it just keeps getting better and better. Hope it's the same for you!

  8. Love your new profile picture! Lookin' good!

  9. Hey, I see Dr Hoehn did your surgery too! What a great surgeon, hope everything is going well for you! Robbie

  10. Hi Dansha, I am good. I did give myself injections for 10 days post op. It is a very fine gauge needle and you inject in your stomach, you honestly don't even feel it, I am serious. I did my injections myself, I was diabetic during both of my pregnancies so I had to inject insulin for a few months. When you wipe your belly with the alcohol pad just make sure you let the alcohol dry before you inject and you will not feel it. Glad things are going well!

  11. Hi Dansha, Wow that sounds great, things are really moving for you! It seemed like such a long process to me and then when I got my surgery date I was in shock! Can't wait to hear more! I am so excited for you. Robbie

  12. Hi Jane,

    First, thank you! Second, you may only have two pictures but they are great. You look FANTASTIC, hope I do half as well!

    Robbie

  13. Just wanted to say good luck with your consult tomorrow, hope it goes well!

  14. Hi Dansha, Absolutely, I have had no problems and I really attribute that to the quality care that I received with Hoehn. I could not have asked for things to go better. I drove 11 hours and stayed in town for 10 days (amazing price for a level one Bariatric Center of Excellence, I am self pay) and would do it again in a heart beat! Tell him his patient from Columbus, Ohio says "Hi" Keep in touch, good luck!
