  4. I started at 417 pounds with 30 Seconds of exercise 19 months ago This weekend I did my first 5K I would love for you to visit my blog and leave me a comment over there if you can. Here is the blog link to read about my 5K Here is the link to join my Facebook weight loss support group for those who are interested in learning more about how faith and prayer can help you on the journey. It is a Christian weight loss support group for all people regardless of whether they had surgery or not but open to anyone interested in faith! Here is the link for that

  9. Hi Everyone!! I hope you will hop over to my blog and see my 200 Pounds Lost Video. I came to this board about 2 years ago in search of hope And I found it!!! Thank you all so much for the help and support you have given me. You all will never know the difference finding this board has meant to my life!! If you can leave me a comment over at my main blog, it would make my whole day I love hearing from VerticalSleeveTalk friends!! Click here to get to the 200 Pounds Gone Video
  10. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wonder if you should seek out a different surgeon this time. Someone who is very confident in their abilities to perform a surgery. Not all surgeons are the same and not all of them are comfortable working on obese patients. Even some bariatric surgeons are not totally comfortable in their abilities so I would look into finding someone who will be able to handle the situation. I do hope you find the right surgeon. This is a life saving procedure!

  12. I gained weight before my surgery too. I struggled also with my pre-op diet. I remember feeling very down on myself too. But life before surgery and after will be very different. I can promise you that!!!! I'll be your friend too. I know what this is like. I am SO excited for you. This is going to be one of the best things you have ever done for yourself!!!! 300 Pounds Down Blog

    I relate to so much of your story!! I know what a tough and scary decision this can be. You are very brave to do this for yourself. I totally agree with what you said about taking back your life. You can do this!! Your life is going to change and it is going to be awesome!! You will be off the insulin and things are going to improve so much you will probably be shocked at what a difference it makes! 300 Pounds Down Blog
  14. This is a very tough one. I am tempted to say push through and have the surgery then fight your boss if he tries to fire you. Knowing how this surgery saved my life I would fight tooth and nail to have it again and again if I had to. This is a tough one though. I am thinking of you!!
  15. Thanks everyone!!!

  21. I think one of the hardest things we deal with is the advice of others who may mean well but often don't understand why we need surgery. Click below to go to the blog The Advice Of Others
