Default Time to Quit Lurking....
My name is Hope and I am a few days shy of my four month surgiversary. The past few months have put me on a ride that I don't think I could truly prepare for until I was strapped in and took off! You are all amazing with your knowledge and support and I am ready to be a part of all this goodness!

I was fortunate enough that I had the most amazing doctor when starting on this journey. (Alas, he's moved on and his replacement is a turkey) I had no complications and while recovery was slow, it was steady and I simply can't complain. Well, I could, but no one wants to hear how much I miss bread and rice.

A month or so out, I decided to blog about the whole ordeal (been a blogger for years) and the feedback has been jaw dropping amazing. The emails and private message on Facebook have just blown me away.(in a good way)

Really looking forward to joining you all in this journey. It definitely isn't easy but I'm feeling it's very worth it in the end.

MissHope

p.s. I totally weigh every day. It's one of my new crazy obsessions!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Welcome to the family, Hope! Glad to see you're doing well. This is indeed not the easy way to lose weight, but it sure is the most effective I ever tried. Just follow the rules and you cannot fail!

I know you'll enjoy it here. There are a lot of good people on this list, and DocSanae keeps us all in line and informed. We couldn't do any of the good stuff here without her gentle oversight.

Hi and welcome Hope! I'm glad you've come out of the lurking and joined us! I believe we can all learn from each other and each new person adds to the huge wealth of information and support we have here. I see that our surgeries were only 2 days apart. Looks like you are doing fantastic! I'm sorry though that you lost your surgeon you liked so much. Hugs
