...was fantastic!  Dr. Gagne was very pleased with my success to date. 

I am down 101.4 lbs. since surgery day.
I am working out 5 days a week.
My bloodwork was all good.  My A1C is down to 4.9% from 6.1 (with medication.)  I haven't been on any medication since I left the hospital!
I am down six pant sizes and 4 top sizes!!

The only "complaints" I have are my hair loss and loose skin.  Both of these will resolve themselves in time.  I am not going to worry about them currently.  It is what it is.

...in a good way!  I thought I weighed 191, but I went to my PCP on Wednesday and I weighed 185!  I asked, "are you sure?"  And she said..."yep, I am positive!!"

So that made me feel a little dizzy and I almost fell off the scale.  That makes 100 pounds!!   I have six more to go to get to my self- determined goal of 179.  I just may keep going, but not too much more. 

I am wearing a size 10 or 12.  And I am 5'11".  But, I have no butt, and my "front-butt" is much squishier (since it is emptying itself and is just mainly skin and sub-q fat.)

The overwhelming joy at seeing that my hard work is paying off is so amazing!  I want for all of my friends and family and all of you reading this to know that kind of elation (over anything!)

Just wanted to share why my weight dropped six pounds in one day...looks a little odd, but i"ll take it!

Love,
Rebecca
