So today I went for my yearly visit to the ob/gyn. I've gone to this same doctor for over 25 years now. I had just started FTS when I was there last year. However, when I was there 2 years ago, I couldn't even weigh on his scales! He still has one of those old type doctor scales with the slide at the top....and it only goes to 350. :-[ At that visit, he suggested that I talk with my internist to see if I might be a candidate for weight-loss surgery. :-\ ...as I've told ya'll before, my mother in law agreed to pay for it too! My internist told me, "NO, you are healthy and you can lose-weight without surgery."
Well, I have to say it was kind of fun weighing on that old rattly scale this morning! ;D ha ha When he asked what I had done, I gave him the whole FTS spill, and he told me to keep up the good work! The AWESOME thing was that he then said that I had done BETTER than alot of people who have the surgery!!! ;D Wow...This all just came around full circle for me today. I have said this often but here goes again....I AM SO THANKFUL FOR FTS!! ;D

That is great Maddysmom!! Just think what it will be like to get on that scale on your next visit!! WTG!

God bless ya, Jan! :)
I'm happy that you did NOT have bariatric surgery.
FTS is so much more effective. And its "side effects" are pretty cool too!
KUDOS!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
That is so awesome Jan!! Way to go girl!! ;D ;D

I remember when I went to see my doctor for the first time after I had lost about 80 pounds.....He demanded I be tested for HIV! He couldn't believe I had lost so much weight in 5 months simply by eating FTS :o Needless to say when my blood profile came back clean and very healthy top to bottom he had a whole new interest in what I was doing ;)
-
Yeah for you Jan!!!!!!!
-
Congratulations Jan!!! My doctor always says to avoid any kind of surgery if you can (surprise?). Way to rock
-
Way to go! :)
-
I am so happy for you Jan!! ;D ;D ;D

Good morning Jan, WOW I am so happy for you.... praise the Lord!!!!! Your testimony gives me HOPE.

Congrats Jan. You must have felt so good to pop on that scale and be able to use it. I know that feeling and how embarrassing it is when you have to say it's not going to work for you.
WAY TO GO JAN!!!!

Yeah, I remember that day a couple years ago at 376 when I couldn't weigh on that scale. He asked me, "Do you have an idea of how much you weigh?" Oh man....how humiliating. Just makes you want to say....well as soon as I find a "loading dock" to weigh on, I will let you know!!! :-[ SOOOO glad those days are gone forever. ;)
