Living in Wilmington, DE area and was wondering about locals in DE, NJ and PA

My least favorite form of exercise is packing and moving. haha!

just think at the end results, moved into the new house.. YOUR new house!!

Howdy everyone!

How are things going? I went to the support group meeting last night. It was interesting. I see all kinds of folks, from those who are doing the diets before hand to some who have reached their goal weight. I'm glad I went because it seems to help keep me on track.

Lisa - are you moved in yet? lol, it takes a while. I hope everything is going well.

Lynn - how was the vacation? I hope you had a good time.

Well, I lost the weight I gained, which is nice. I'm glad to be back where I was. Now, to the loosing weight part of the program! It is nice that my ticker is correct now!

Paulette- glad to hear you are back on track

I totally forgot about the support group meeting eith just getting back from vacation

Vacation was fine. I was back at my sister's place getting more things cleaned out, but did add some un time with friends to the long weekend and a walk on the beach..

I keep plugging away with tha exercise at the "Y". I totally enjoy the water aerobics class. I think I am addicted

I have finally hit below 200#, by just a hair... but I didi it...almost half way to my goal

Lisa - moving has kept you busy..need to make a bit of time to relax..

have a great day everyone

Hey Rob,

were you at the "Y" last night?????

I was talking with someone in the pool and was thinking it may have been you??

Lynn - :smile2::thumbup::w00t: YEAH! I am doing such a happy dance for you. You are oneunderland!! What an awesome place to reach. Almost 1/2 way there! How exciting!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to join you! :Angel_anim:

Thanks for the thumbs up..

hi everyone, sorry i've been MIA. how is everyone doing?

i start mushies today, yay! Irgau wouldn't move me earlier. dammit. i waited in that waiting room for 1 1/2 hrs and saw him for 90 seconds. i see him again monday, and he said he may give me a fill then. that makes me excited!

glad to see all is going well, 366. I know some people have complained about the wait at the DR office. I have had to wait about 30 minutes.

I am scheduled for a fill on 6/10, but have been having lots of issues lately with eating certain types of food. Today for lunch it was cod. it did not want to go down, but at the same time the cauliflower and baked potatoe was fine???

Good morning everybody,

I hope everybody is tolerating this hot weather!!! Today I'm off to see the pulmonologist. Not sure what's going to happen there but at least I'll get to have another appointment checked off my "to do" list. When I saw the cardiologist on Thursday he said " I see they have you jumping through all the hoops". I know it's a good thing that my insurance is being careful but I sure hate this wait!!! I've always hated summer. Maybe it's because I'm so uncomfortable in my "own skin" I don't want to do anything. Oh well....sorry to babble so much. Hope everybody is doing well. I love reading all the posts. It really keeps me motivated.

all the appt are not just for the inasurance clearance, CHRIAS and PMRI have their own list of clearances before surgery, whether you are self pay or insurance is covering. All for the better I think, you know you have a clean bill of health in all those areas and also have an idea of how things will improve for you after surgery.

Well I just returned from my pulmonologist appointment. It went well but he does want me to have a sleep study. I snore and my son-in-law made the observation that he saw me stop breathing while I was sleeping on their coach and thought I had died!!! I told Dr. Peters that and also the Pulmonologist. I've never had a sleep study before so it should be quite interesting. I do feel like I am getting a good check up from all the doctors and lab work and my husband is thrilled to know my health is good. I am glad Chrias is careful. I'm sure that's why they have such a good reputation.

who was your pulmonologist? I went to Dr Jones, then the NP, Mary Adams. my sleep study was done at American Sleep Medicine. I felt like i was checking into a hotel room, very private and if it could be relaxing.. i would suggest getting it scheduled ASAP as if you ned the apnea machine they will want you to get it and use it for a bit before they give you clearance... good luck

I saw Dr. Walsh in Dover. The office said I would be contacted in a couple of days to schedule my study. This is the first clich I've encountered. My 6 month pre op diet won't be up until the middle of October so hopefully that's still far enough away that it won't affect the scheduling of my surgery. In 2 weeks I go for the nurse and psych appointment.

After Lynn and I were done at the gym today, I realized that it is my 3 month bandiversary tomorrow!!! I cannot express how happy I have been with this process. It also made me happy when I stepped on the scale at the YMCA tonight and was down another 4 lbs! More motivation to watch what I am eating and getting my butt to the gym. Lynn please quote me on this when I say I am too tired to go to the gym tomorrow night!
