hello Stephen,
Just seen your updated profile way to go dude. Sounds like your already successful. How about a new pic to go with it. your friend carol Ware
So glad to hear your on your weigh. I don't wish you luck I wish you health. I am down 103 pounds and could stand to lose another but, already it has paid for itself. I feel great. I just can't wait to be able to get up and down off the floor. Although when I wrecked my bicycle I was able to get back up. Help I've fallen and I can get myself up. Sounds so simple but, my knees didn't feel like they were gonna bust out and no crying involved. You are so lucky to have it while your young. So grab that grandpa and give him a big ol hug. Merry Christmas to Stephen right. Take care Carol Ware
No, I don't have to sip anymore, thankfully. Soda does not agree with me. It made me feel some pressure in my stomach, and I only took a couple of sips. So, I just stay away from the stuff. I drink gatorade, water, juice...And can drink a good amount. I do have to do the sipping at meal time. Otherwise, I can overfill, and become very uncomfortable. The other thing I can't drink like I used to is milk. Plain milk sits heavy in my stomch. Chocolate milk sits much easier, for some reason. Weird, hu? Tips...Follow the instructions in the manual, don't overeat, get your fluids in, be patient and allow yourself (mentally) the time to heal. It's a new way of life after surgery, and I know that I had to adjust. I'm not very patient, which didn't help. Take your meds, and take good care of yourself.

Stephen: Congrats!!!!! My #1 recommendation is to take your measurements as well as weigh. Write these down the day or so before surgery as well as every month, around the anniversary of your surgery. There will be times when the scale may not move, but you will still be losing inches. It will really help you stay motivated!! Please keep us informed of your progress!!
Hi Stephen,
You may want to post this question to the board, and see what others can advise. I went with an equity loan. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I know there have to other options out there.
Keep trying...Don't give up.
I had my surgery on Thur Dec 13 with Dr. P in Fl and I'm 21 years old and type 2 diabetic. It's been a little bit over 6months and I've lost a total of 90lbs, I went from 265 and now I'm down to around 175. My diabetes is gone, I have alot of energy, I'm having to get new clothes. I feel great and it's one of the greatest things I've ever did.
