Hey girl! I just read your latest on the message and I just wanted to say congratulations.My wife (Michelle Luethold) had her surgery in Southern CA, on 8-22-01 and has lost 127, so far. It looks like you are doing great.

Guess your little problem with food is a good reminder for all of us to chew our food to mush & then give it a couple more chews before we swallow. Glad it went down. Just think, you might lose a couple of extra pounds since you're back on liquids. Thanks for all the caring posts to the message board.

Hello Joelle.....Vanessa's post reminded me of the old children's song: Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the othe gold. Good luck in your continuing journey. PEACE

Hi everyone!!! I just wanted to share a little something with you about Joelle. In case you weren't already aware of this, I just wanted to tell you all that Joelle is one of the most incredible people I have ever met. It's amazing how friendships can form between people, that you have yet to meet face to face. She is such a sweet and caring woman! She is always able to do something that makes me feel so good about myself. It's a good thing that her surgery was done LAP, because if the doctor had opened her up, he would have fainted when he saw that her heart is made of GOLD!!! I mean it!!! She has a HEART of GOLD!!! Joelle, thank you for being you...don't ever change.LOVE YOU LOTS!!! Love, Vanessa XOXOXO ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

Dear Joelle, Thanks again for e-mailing me as quickly as you did with me being so new to the site! It means a great deal to me and is very encouraging, ESPECIALLY with you being only 3 days post-op! I am truly happy for you that things went so well. Just remember to take good care of yourself and it sounds like you will be seeing "the new you" in no time at all! Hugs.....Bonnie H.

I'm glad to see you home safe and sound. Take it easy now. With me, I feel so good, that I'm afraid I may overdue it. (went shopping last night) I hope it was ok. I felt like getting out for fresh air and walking around. I went to the Albertville Outlet Mall.
