Thank you, Alex

I wondered what the gloving up was all about, yikes. Funny to picture the interviews before the show, "now, who here feels comfortable handling a human stomach specimen on national television?" No wonder they all looked so freaked out!

As for the forty pounds, when I went to my six-month checkin with the LB program coordinator at the hospital she said that I have nearly reached the goal set by my surgeon. This was the first I had heard of this goal. My own goal is 148, one hundred pounds down from the 248 that I started with. Turns out they use statistics to predict a goal of their own. Well, I now look forward to exceeding that goal because I have no intention of stopping at 190. And that's ten pounds or so away as it is. Maybe my 148 is too ambitious -- I won't know until I'm getting closer.

Hopefully this is giving me just the grit and determination I need for getting off this next chunk. No complacency even if the surgeon might indicate "mission accomplished." Just bringing this up on this thread because of the whole forty pounds to lose focus on the Dr. Oz show. Many of those women would probably like to lose a lot more than that. We'll take what we can get but why stop there?

Thanks for the link, @@Alex Brecher -- don't have TV so would have missed this.

Dr. George Fielding is awesome...He was my surgeon for gastric bypass and when I was in the hospital for 4 days, he would come and visit me every day and then his team would come every day...very very impressed by him. Even before my surgery, he met with my brother and answered all his questions. I recommend him to everyone out there..he truly is a great guy!
