Hi I have a question for you if you dont mind. I was looking at your ticker and, if Im reading it correctly it took you about 3 years to get to your goal weight. I was getting a little depressed cause I have to admit, Im not where I really should be with my wight, kindda cheated for about 6 months but Im back on the wagon again. My surgery was june 2011 and as you can see I only lost 55 lbs. I should have lost allot more but I have no oneto blame but myself.

Did you continue to lose weight or did you hit plataue's too

thank you Terri

That's awesome! Mine has gone super fast since insurance won't pay for it. I had my consult and exam on one day and that's it. I have an EGD on Monday the 4th, preop stuff on the 5th and surgery on the 7th. The whole process from consult to surgery is only 2 weeks! Amazing how fast stuff goes without dealing with insurance approvals.

Wow, that is fast! Do you have to go to Scottsdale each time? And I was told they do the Surgeries on Fridays only. Is it in Tempe that they do the surgeries? Thanks for the info.

Yes I have had to go to Scottsdale for it so far. I imagine that's where I'll be going for all the check ups and fills.

The surgery is done in Tempe at Tempe New Day Surgery Center. Not sure abt the surgery on Friday thing since mine is on a Thursday.

mine was on a thursday too at tempe new day

Hmm, I wonder if it is because I might need to have it done in the hospital due to my insurance.
