Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 , good to hear someone so excited about their progress. I was up, then down for 11 months. Happy, then discouraged. Sounds like insurance won't be a problem for you. Congrats on finishing the optifast program!! Joan C, Calif. LAP RNY 11/18/03 Dr. Higa, Fresno, CA 282/255/140 helloooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Welcome back . We missed you also. I would be so lost without my puter. Congrats on finishing the optifast program. I know that had to be hard to do. Did you lose any weight? Hope that you get your approval and surgery date soon. ~H.
