Best wishes Mandy!!!

Could NOT be happier with my choice of hospitals or surgeons. He said everything went flawlessly. Was expecting mild to moderate liver enlargement, but thanks to a 70+ pound weight loss before surgery that was not even a factor. Slowly feeling better each day. Be patient and listen to your pouch!!! Jeff

OH YEAH..... Surgeon's office just called. The insurance has APPROVED my RNY at MY hospital of choice and with MY chosen Dr. My dream is slowly becoming a reality. Come on February 22nd!!!!

Will definitely do that!!!

Hey folks...I am Jeff. I live in Lehighton, PA...not too far away from Allentown. I am having my RNY in 4 weeks at Lehigh Valley. Down 55 pounds from my highest weight. Someone close give me a shout. Jeff

Welcome aboard Tim...glad you found us guys huddled here in the corner. I just jumped through my last scheduled hoop yeaterday; pulmonary clearance. Surgeon's office submitted all my stuff to the insurance company yesterday. Guess now I sit back and wait. My RNY is scheduled for 2/22....and I cant wait!!! Jeff from PA

You people are all nuts...thats why I love it here. We are one big dysfunctional family.

Or just start shaking your money maker. LOL!!!

Tammy...we love you for you!!!

Maybe he is just feeling threatened by your success? I know my wife often feels left behind and left out of certain steps along the way of my journey.

U go girl!!!

Anytime hun...just glad to help.

Tammy...HUGS!!! You need them sweetie.

Thats just sad...I'm so sorry for you.

Is the hubby holding out on compliments???

Being preop and only down 35 pounds I'm getting NOTHING here...LMAo

Vwry motivating...thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks little pooh. I'm just so looking forward to starting my new healthier life. Merry Christmas!!! Jeff

Welcome Blue...we are glad you joined us!!! Jeff

I'm READY!!! Met with the surgeon last week and February 22nd can't get here soon enough. My last official class for the 3 month program was Friday. The bariatric surgery review board will meet the Thursday after Christmas and discuss all possible patients. As of Friday I had successfully lost 36 pounds which I am VERY proud of!!!!!!!! I'm currently preparing and tasting various kinds of clear liquid protein options so I know what I will be able to handle during my clear liquid phase. My motivation has been 6 preop photos that I had my wife take before I began this journey. I keep them in my bedside table and view them EVERY morning and night. I will NEVER let myself look like that again. Thanks you all for listening. I wish everyone much success. And most importantly...being a loser can make you feel like a winner if the company is proper!!!!!!!! Jeff

Welcome Fred. Enjoy you stay with us. Jeff....Pennsylvania

I like that thinking Kat...one day at a time!!!

I got the ball rolling in august. First class was in September. My final class is this Friday...can't wait to see their faces when I show them what a loser looks like!!! If my insurance balks....I will simply appeal. Trays how I got to choose my own hospital for no additional charges. My nursing background is paying off. Jeff

Thank you my dear...I too will ask the man upstairs for your blessings. If you ever wanna talk, vent or just a friend I'm here. My cell is ALWAYS ON!!! 8437096664 Jeff

No ma'am...I'm slotted for February 22nd. Which seems like an eternity from now. Just gives me time to lose more and get healthier before the procedure. How about you?
