Wow...do you remember the persons name on the voice mail? If it was Cheryl, she is very good at getting back to you...I'm not sure if she does the scheduling for Dr. haag, though...It does kinda get you down when they do that...they did it to me twice!!

Hi MA Friends,

I haven't posted on this thread in a while! I was very sad that I couldn't make the get together at the mall. Hopefully next time.

I am doing well, slipping a lot lately though but not totally falling:cry

I can't believe how much better I feel about myself. I've gained back some of my confidence and self esteem. I can't believe it but I signed on to be an advisor for Lia Sophia. Really cool jewelry. I was a hostess and got lots of free stuff so I decided to try my hand at selling. I can't believe I'm going to stand in front of a room of women!!!!

Anyway, if any of you MA girls are interested in hosting a party, I would love do meet you!!

Everyone is doing so well, its exciting to read. Hope you all have a great week! Keep it up losers:biggrin1:

Embarassingly enough, I could not understand the receptionist that well, as she has a rather thick accent, and being as I do not deal with that on a day to day basis all I could pick out was she was transfering me to someones voice mail,,when I got the voice mail (I was at work) my 2 way radio started yammering, so I couldn't hear who it was:faint: ... I'm just sure if I did it from home my 3 & 4 year olds would have been "MUCH QUIETER"!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
