    Dr. Valentine is doing my surgery. I wasn't doing very good on my diet either. I went up and down. But the last weigh in I was less than I started which is a good thing to show the insurance. For me I have to drink lots of water and stay away from sugar or any kind of carbs. Otherwise I won't lose anything. Good luck!!! You're almost done!!! Its so exciting once you're approved! :)

    When is your surgery? I was told once you are approved it could take 6-8 weeks to get the surgery. Hoping it is quicker than that! I want to be able to enjoy as much of the summer as I can!
