 And doing really great!  Super happy with life right now.  I am down to 135lbs so I did reach my goal.  I had a small fill on the 17th along with a yearly check up with Dr Kam.  Actually he likes it if I see him at least twice a year.  Not sure what my level is I saw Dr Kam in Petoskey and he was unable?  to check my level, but he could give me a fill???  Whatever.  
 A lot has happened in this past year.  My daughter graduated from college getting her degree in Biosystems Engineering with a concentration in BioEnergy Engineering .  She also landed a job in mid August in her field.  Which is pretty good considering we live in Michigan.  I'm going to be a first time grandmother around March 14th!  A baby girl is expected by my son and his wife.  My Mom was diagnosed with colon cancer stage 3.  She tried chemo but her body was unable to metabolize the chemo so after only 2 treatments she discontinued it.  They are going to follow her with blood work and pet scans and the like.  She did have surgery to remove the tumor but it had spread and there's no way of knowing if they got everything or not so we are praying they did and it doesn't return.  During that time when Mom was having her surgery and treatments is when I lost this last 10 lbs that were hanging on.  I was so tight because of the stress that I was thinking about getting a slight unfill.  But before I could get in she quit treatment and she was quickly feeling better so I wasn't needed at her house every other week.  My band felt better so I left it as is.  Stress really effects my band!!!  Everything is running along smoothly and life is good!
