Thumbs up Im on my way

I have been a reading the posts for quite some time and happy to see such support and friendship.

I was called by Leslie today and told that I am approved and my surgery is scheduled for Nov. I know that everything I have read here will only help me as I am soon to be come a big loser also.

Default newbetterme,

I like that Tag! Congratulations on your date of November 1! Welcome to this forum too! Keep us posted on your feelings, you'll be going through a range of them before your surgery date!

Default Congratulations on your date!!

Newbetterme,

I cannot tell you enough about this group. I have not met such a great, giving, supportive, caring, awesome group of people ever!!!!!! With their support, and of course, my wonderful husband, I have lost 187 pounds! You can turn to this group with your questions, concerns, accomplishments, setbacks, or anything and you will be met with heartfelt assistance.

I live in Mira Mesa, too. Please send me an email privately, and we can meet sometime. Your date will be here before you know it, and you'll be a loser too!

Andi

Default Well Christina,

You are friggin amazing with only 3 more pounds to go till you reach the century mark!!!

Andi, WOW, what a coincidence, 187 is for murder. You murdered another person, that person was your fat cells! Right on! You ROCK!
