Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Hi ! TIPS?? You have lost 250 lbs! Sounds like you can give US some tips as well! hehe I am familiar with your surgeon. I have friends who are patients of his. You might want to also join the local Dallas group called " Dallasites " . They have local meetings, fun nights out etc. I started the group in 1999 when I lived in Dallas but I have since moved to Florida. It is also a Yahoo group by the way. How much more weight do you want to lose? Tell us more about your journey! I am jazzed to hear of a young 19 year old getting their life back before waiting and yo yo dieting for years like most of us did! Congrats! *hug* ~Hugs Melty~ Open RNY 5/1/98 -- -163 lbs Panniculectomy/abdomnioplasty 5/23/01 -- -15 lbs Dr. Lawrence Barzune/Dallas TX -- would recommend him 110% **have maintained my weight loss for over 2.5 years and feel I am at " goal " but wish to lose another 10-15 lbs if possible! for the proverbial " icing on the cake " that I can't EAT! Hello my name is Donnell, I am 19 years old and I had my surgery March 7, 2001, preformed by Dr. in Dallas,Tx. At the time of surgery I was 500 pounds and 1 year and 3 months later I have almost lost 250 pounds. And I thought by joining I can meet other people that have had the surgery and maybe some tips on how to get rid of these last few pounds. So if anybody knows any good tips send them my way. Thank you , Donnell Homepage: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Graduate-OSSG Unsubscribe: mailto:Graduate-OSSG-unsubscribe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hello everyone I just joined the group. My name is belle and I am a 24/f/Arkansas. I have severe hypoglycemia, but latley my blood sugar has been running high. I need to find out more about the diabetic diet. The hypoglycemic diet is a little different that the diabetic diet I think. Well thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
