  1. Oh yeah!!!! Congrats. Your life is about to get real good!!! We are always here for you!!
  2. I'm sorry that you had to go through that but, super glad you made it out on top. Dr. Fitzer and staff are REAL DEAL!!! Reston Hospital were phenomenal as well. Buckle up. Your life is about to get REAL GOOD!! I'm excited for you!
  3. He is AMAZING!!! He's definitely the 1!!
  4. It happens. I lost 24 the first week. I lost really quick. I hit 100 pounds in like 4/5ish months. It's insane. Just try to enjoy the ride my friend. Its gets much better. Trust me! You interested in coming to Dr. Fitzer's monthly support group? They are awesome and super supportive. The next one is September 10th at Reston Hopital. Pavillion II, classroom B @6pm.
  5. I lost 40+ pounds in 8 weeks. It came off fairly quick. However x please keep in mind that everyone is different. Which surgery did you have?
  6. Indeed. Hope to see you there. It's a GREAT group!!
  7. The will to live will force you to try something new. It's a no brainer. You'll be in great hands. I am beyond pleased with my results and the way I feel. I feel like a "machine"!!! It's awesome. As a former athlete, I feel better now than I did when I was a well trained athlete. I strongly encourage you to come to the next support group like my 2 brothers @gr8ful1 and @reboot mentioned. You'll get all that you could ever ask for while there. Plus I'll be there. I'm kinda awesome!! Hahaha. I hope that you come take us up on our offer. We got your back!!!
  8. I understand your concerns, but I am 7 months post op gastric bypass and I'm definitely not sick everyday. This surgery saved my life. I love life everyday. Dr. Fitzer is amazing along with his staff. He knows his stuff. I hope you reconsider. Being heavy like we are, we need something to help us get our lives back on track. This is the chance to do so. I'd do it 1000 times over again. That's how much I love and appreciate the second chance at life. We are all here for you. Please reach out. You wont regret this opportunity. Dont let it pass. At that size, we are all at risk for something to happen at any given second. Time is now. Let's make it happen.
  9. Exactly!!! Congrats bro!!! I had mine done right before Christmas and it was definitely the Christmas gift I could've ever gotten. I'm so pumped for you bro.
  10. I just emailed her expressing my sadness of her leaving. Waiting for a reply. Makes me so sad. Shawn, the PA is leaving, or already left. She was with me through my process. That makes me super sad. All new faces now I'm thinking its gonna be so uncomfortable.
  11. I'm thinking about it. If I can free up, then I'll be there
  12. You'll be fine. I'm a worrier too. Just listen to your body. You'll be straight. Congrats again.
  13. Yes sir. I got it yesterday. I'm in.
  14. Same here bro. I already can't wait for next month's meeting.
  15. Indeed my friend. We need to stay in touch.
