Hi, I Am Christy And I Love Food.

Last night I went to Dr. Gorospe's weight loss support group, he requires that you attend one before you have the surgery. My Mom and my husband accompanied me. I thought it was great. First they have a Q and A part where anyone can ask Dr. Gorospe any questions they may have. It did kind of get annoying that most of the questions being asked were answered in the welcome packet, if they had just read through it. But apparently that is too much to ask for. The day I got my welcome packet, I tore through it and read every single piece of paper in there. I wanted to go in there knowing all I could know. But the people asking the questions last night didn't seem to have the same thirst for knowledge as I did. Dr. Gorospe was very patient and answered everyone's questions. Then his brother-in-law spoke, I am not really sure why he was a speaker....but he was. He didn't really say or do much. After him was a testimonial. A woman named Twyla and her husband spoke. She had the surgery two years ago, on the day of surgery she was 250 lbs. She said the night before she got really sick because she had diabetes and her blood sugar dropped dangerously low,so she almost backed out of surgery. Her husband called the hospital and they told her to get in there and they could fix that for her,so ended up having the surgery and now weighs 120 lbs and is happy and healthy. So she was urging everyone do what is best for them and to be healthy and stuff. After she spoke they passed around the microphone and had everyone tell how much they have lost, date of surgery,and who their insurance carrier was. All in all, I though it was a great meeting.
