  1. Goal.... and score! Congrats!
  2. I would call. Even if they were sent, it wouldn't hurt to resend them. Don't go into the weekend wondering. Good luck!
  3. I'm taking a class in Kundalini Yoga. It's described as incorporating movement and meditation to help increase flexibility, build strength and balance hormones. I'm 54 and it's the first exercise class I've ever taken in my entire life. It's relaxing and challenging and I love it!
  4. No, this is your DAY! In caps, because it should be a celebration of all you've gone through to get here. I remember my DAY. I woke up smiling and I don't think I've stopped smiling since. You've got a brand new wonderful future awaiting you. Go get it! ????
  5. That's definitely weight loss surgery on the fast track. One thing you definitely don't have to worry about is a support system, as you have that in spades. I'm happy for you and best of wishes for your sleeved future!
  6. If it were me, I'd just suck it up and pay. I would have done almost anything to get to surgery at the time I was going through it. You've passed the requirement and that's the important thing. Good luck!
  7. I went overboard. ????. Honestly you spend most of your time walking, sipping, sleeping, and being poked and prodded. Mainstays are a comfy pillow, your phone with an extra long charger cord (mine didn't reach), a robe, toiletries, stretchy clothes to wear home, and that should do you. Congrats!
  8. Congrats! That is definitely an awe inspiring moment!
  9. Congrats on your impressive weight loss!
  10. You are so very lovely! Congrats on all your successes - present and future!
  11. You look marvelous! Congrats!
  12. Best of luck on your surgery day!
  13. Going home is such a major milestone. There's no place like home to help in recovery. Congrats!
  14. Congrats on your major victory! You look great!
  15. I would be surprised if they compared the results. I think you're fine in that regard.
  16. Wow, never heard of something like that, but glad you're feeling better now.
  17. Congrats on your success! Amazing!
  18. I know you are going through a lot, and I wish you only the best of health and happiness as you proceed through these difficult times.
  19. Feel grateful that there was a procedure available that will not only cure the liver issue, but also help ensure that all the other obesity related diseases, such as diabetes have now been averted. Feel joyful that you've now been allotted extra years with your children and grandchildren that you might never have gotten before. Feel blessed that you have a supportive husband, family, and medical care, who are all helping you through the procedure. Feel love towards yourself, because you deserve this just as much as anyone else, no matter how it came about. Feel hopeful and excited in anticipation of the healthy body and life you have awaiting you in the near future. Sometimes it's okay to put yourself first, because in the end, a better you, a healthier happier you, benefits all those around you at the same time. You are going to love the new you! ????
  20. Congratulations for seeking the help you need, and best wishes for the future.
  21. Congrats on another check off the requirement list. One step closer to surgery!
  22. You have a lovely future ahead of you. Best wishes for a speedy approval!
  23. Yes, but you made it through and that's the best part. Good for you!
  24. Hello and welcome! Congrats on making the weight loss surgery decision. Things might seem a tad overwhelming now but before you know it, your day will be here too. I'm three months out from my RNY and I couldn't be happier! Best of luck!
