    Jean~~~~Here's to you for taking the best steps you can to a super new & health life. "I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYERS, I HAVE SEEN YOUR TEARS. SURELY, I WILL HEAL YOU." 2 KINGS 20:5 I pray our Lord and His angels be with you as you go through your surgery and recovery. May our Lord be with your surgeon and his staff, guiding their hands and minds during your surgery and recovery. "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENETH ME." PHILIPPIANS 4:13. "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion." Congratulations on your upcoming weight loss!! :o) I will be joining you on the "losing side" this fall. Prayers & Best Wishes, Janie

My Story

I had my surgery on July 11, 2002. I didn't get out the normal time of 3 days. I was in there for 9 days. I had a lot of nausea. Then I dehydrated. Then I had to have blood. And some tests. The second night, they almost had to trach me because I couldn't breathe. Then on Aug 8th I had to go back into the hospital because of nausea/vomiting and dehydration.

It has almost been 2 1/2 years since surgery. Have lost 170 lbs. Started at 308 and am now at 140. Lost a whole person. Am feeling great. I am not on any meds. Just vitamins.

Did get the hernea thing. So had that fixed and the tummy tuck June, 2004. Everything okay there.

Today, I enjoy meeting people. Have a lot more energy. My husband is one terrific guy. He has been there for me the whole trip and is enjoying his new wife.
