I was wonder if there is a way to find out what has happened to the 3FatChick sisters that started this website. I used to read their journals, but can't remember what their names were and I seem to recall that one of the Chicks was going to have WLS and am wonder how she did. Boy I hate these senior moments. Noticed that they seem to be coming more regular lately!!! Anyway, if anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you.
I used to be a lurker here for years and was involved in about every diet on these boards. It seems to me that one of the sister also used to be a Weight Watcher. Oh, well....
Also wanted you to know that my cousin, has had her six month doctor supervised diet and they sent her for her psych eval. and she passed it, but before the psychiatrist will sign off on her, he wants her to have 3 mos. of counseling. I tried to encourage her by telling her that she will probably be ahead of some that are going for WLS, because she had a better chance of find out about her dependency on food and maybe able to deal with better. I have talked about some of your stories and your battles with food. It encouraged her a great deal.

Amy had gastric bypass surgery in 2004. She did pretty well. She lost about 100 pounds after her sugery, but like many (if not most) WLS patients, she regained some weight as time went on.
It's a difficult process and not the best choice for most people, but necessary for some. I hope she does well
