Yes, I would love to participate in a quilt block exchange...I need something to motivate me to get back upstairs to my sewing room! I have several quilts in progress that have been waiting for too long. Thanks for asking!

I'm not sure this is correct, but I'm planning to have the sleeve, and I think I read that you need the multi-vitamins because you just can't take in enough food to get everything you need from food alone. I've got to get back into the habit of taking my vitamins - never used to get sick...

I am passionate about quilting since I started making quilts about 12 years ago. I started an online quilt store two years ago because I love fabric so much, but my health began to decline and I am closing my shop by the end of August to devote all my energy right now to pursuing WLS, losing...

Melissa, that's why I, for one, intend to always remember that WLS provides you a "tool" that can be very effective in turning your life around, but it isn't magic or an easy fix. Anyone considering making such a drastic change to their body and their lifestyle MUST understand that it is...

I think your willingness to view the issue from all angles will make you that much more certain about whether it will be right for you. If we were to ignore the fact that everyone will have their own personal challenges and circumstances, we might miss something truly helpful that someone can...

Pat, I had never thought of it as a tool until I began to read more about it...I now think I have the proper respect for the process. Every time I think about the hard work it will require, I also think about the wonderful results so many people have seen. I have been reading everything I can...

Hi Lizzie, I hope your post op is going smoothly! You've had great results in weight loss so far! I don't know how long it will take me to get scheduled - I don't have to meet any insurance qualifications because our particular BCBS policy doesn't pay for WLS under ANY circumstances! My...

That makes a lot of sense to me Karenina - I understand what you are saying and I agree that the total commitment you have to make to this type of lifestyle change MUST come from within. I guess I can say that I am doing this because I know that it is the right solution for me and I had to get...

I just registered today, and this looks like a great support group. I haven't scheduled my surgery yet, but I have my consult on August 22. I plan to have a gastric sleeve. It was only a couple of months ago that a diabetes specialist told me point-blank that he thought I should have the...
