So I started this journey in January of this year. It was horrible stepping on the scale and seeing 425 appear on the scale. I was determined then that the weight had to come off. I started seeing a Dr. at North Atlanta Surgical Weight Loss center and put my trust in him with my life in his hands. Unfortunately he disappeared a month later with no paper trail. I was devastated but I guess that was God showing me another way. I then saw a commercial for Live Healthy MD and was introduced to the best support team around. I called and was scheduled for my initial consultation on April 15, 2013. I met with my surgeon Dr. Darren Glass and his team Dr. Edward Boland, Trish, Tammy, and Shannon. They took me under there wings and helped me began to take control of me. With them I have already lost 46 pounds currently weighing 379. My documents were submitted for approval on July 25th and have been given the tentative date of September 3rd upon approval. I'm excited that I'm finally going to able to truly enjoy life with the obstacles that it may bring without having to also worry about my weight. Fingers crossed hoping to hear that everything is a go!

Good luck to you and am proud that you have stuck with your decision. You are doing fabulous so far and i hope that things go great for you. I looked into this 5 years ago and had not such as good feeling with the doctor I saw. A friend of mine referred to to Dr. Roslin in NY and he changed my life. I'm 5 days out and pretty sore, but I know I made the right choice. This website is so wonderful. I go on this a couple of times a day and it really encourages me. Good luck to you!

Great job on your weight loss so far!

I to am coming from over 400 lbs, so it is nice to see another person of our size.

I sometimes struggle to relate to others who have had the surgery because my starting weight is so much higher. But I appreciate the feedback and support that is provided on this site.

I wish you continued success. Keep up the good work!

Blessings,

Michelle
