Wink Support Group in Tj, me again!

Hi! I haven't had a chance to get into the internet much lately (well to be honest I dont have a computer @ hm & @ work we dont have access to the internet that makes me mad). But any ways, I am doing just great, loosing more weight like all you guys too. I went to my doctor in Tj & I have lost 60lbs in 4 1/2 months, that means I weight 180lbs. I haven't been 180 since my senior year in high school . But I am alot happier, still no boyfriend but lots of male friends, I go out & there is always someone asking me to dance or for my #, & I they do call me back. But just friends, that makes me happy that now I get to choose which one I want not like before I didn't have much of an option (darn peaky man). But yes I am happier than 5 months ago.

I also want to thank you all for answering all my questions when I had one. You guys always had an answer, thanks a million. This has helpes so much, I have printed out alot of the threats in here for the support group I am organizing in TIjuana. It is our first one this Saturday, we had to cancel last Saturday's meeting cause of the rain (it gets too ugly in Tj to be driving around with the rain). Well this Saturday the 15th @ 5pm we will ahve the 1st meeting. My doctor has given my # to lots of people & I also placed some fliers in his office & at the hospital I had my surgery done. People call me for advice like if I was the doctor ok, or ask me if I felt the same symtoms they are having now. I feel so good helping other people. My cell just rings every day from people that have questions, thank God for Nextel. Even doctors call me offering me to give free seminars ok, I was in shock when I got one this past weekend from a surgen. She wants to give us a free talk on surgeries to remove excess skin, tummytucks, etc. I dont know when I will be inviting her but it will be soon.

My doctor has also been giving me other websites where I can buy vitamins from. I cant remember all the websites one of them is webvitamins.com. He also suggested me to buy multivitamins at Cosco that are liquid, they are great, even thought I forget to drink them everyday. I am also loosing soooo much hair. I know I need more vitamins in me. My brother is getting Rogain for me tonight, do you think it will work to make my hair grow back or stop it from falling? All this questions and more I want to have answers for, & hope all the people that go to our support group meetings in Tj have tons of advice to give out.

When you guys have your next support group meeting at a house or anywhere else let me know please. Any one that wants to come on Saturday you can email me at vsiqueiros@lobelfinancial.com, I will read emails here Mon-Fri from 7am - 4:30pm. Or you can call me at (619)608-5992 or 126*71*26144 nextel. Any one that can speak spanish or understands it is more than welcome to go. The time is at 5pm on the 15th.

Thank you once again for listening or reading my threat. Also I want to tell you guys something, you guys look so good in your pictures. Probably look better in person. Take care & hope to hear from at least one person. I do need some support. I probably wont be able to read any reponces from here tomorrow, so please email me.

Everyone have a great night!

Default Veronica,

YOU TOTALLY ROCK! You are generous of your time to help others! Congratulations with your weight loss! You are doing so good!

I also take the liquid vitamines that you get at Costco. I found out about them from our monthly support group meeting. I do like it very much.

I've not heard about Rogaine helping with the hair loss. You'll have to let us know.

Good luck with your support group meeting this weekend! I'll be thinking about you all.

Default thanks!

Hi everyone! Thank you Gerry for the info it was very helpful for myself. I am doing alot better now. It was nice knowing you too, & dont wory about the trip this weekend & sorry I didn't call you back.

About the support group in Tijuana, well only one person showed up. Alot of people went out of town or had other plans. I didn't get all depressed or sad cause I learned alot from that one person that did end up going. Hopefuly next month we can have more people come over. I think since this is the start not too many people know whats up with a support group. But in a near by future we'll have a big group (I'll pray to God for this).

But I will let you guys know of our next support group. Maybe one of you want to join us.

I am also very happy to see many new pictures & new people going thru the same things I am going thru too. My mom & I are doing just great thank god. She still doesn't eat much. But I am learning more each day how my new tummy works & believe me I dont want to gain any more weight in the future. I would hate to be big again. But thanks to everyone of you for your advise, & Bridget I did get Rogaine but I forget to use it, so forget it, & hopefuly my hair will grow again. Wish I was like Gerry & didn't have to worry about my hair.

I'll keep all of you posted for our next meeting in Tj.
