Look at Belighter.com under Support Team. AnnMarie is gone and Shelly is President. Good for a laugh or two huh?

This after she privated me her long post that was clipped originally, like I care.

I hope all who wanted to sue them started...may be too late? Sue Shelly now, it is the same company.

Best Wishes,

Brad

The note I got had more of a surprised tone, that she thought I was happy with the service they provided me. I am happy with my band but I don't think the services for HER fee was worth it. All she did was make one phone call to make an appt for me and then it was evident that she hadn't even talked to Nora and Carmen about me wanting to make different arrangements regarding the hotel and hospital stays. There are several reasons I think I got jipped by her but I'm sure its all old news. I wonder why she would sound threatening to others? Hmmm. I haven't really decided what/if I am going to do something to that company. Best wishes, Teresa

Teresa and all

,

Better make up your mind. If it is sold, why is the address and phone the same? Is the business now licensed in Ontario, California where Shelly Supan lives? California laws govern differently than Nevada. Everyone can now sue Shelly instead of AnnMarie. Really you can do both. Sheely assumed the debts of her new company(if she bought it) and all liability. What is that saying? "Two is better than one".

For you Teresa, if you have a gripe you can't do anything but gripe, but if they lied or harmed you or harrass you, you can do a lot. I see you are in Oregon. Oregon law is on your side against her company. Oregon has many new laws that protect the consumer against companies and people like this.

I suggest everyone call the Nevada Business Division, the better business bureau(they are not members) and they will direct your complaint to the division that protects consumers. It just seems these many complaints should be resolved or the company should accept responsibility.

Lastly, I received a copy of a letter saying AnnMarie was retiring to spend time with her family. If allowed by he moderators, I will cut out sections with regard to persons involved and forward it on.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
