Hello Robby: It's been awhile since I was online so I have been slow on getting back to people but you posted a very nice comment on my surgery support page and I have sent you an email in reply after I looked through your profile. I think you look fabulous yourself. I am having the same problem as you. I have not had insurance coverage or have been able to afford plastic surgery and I also am very self conscious undressed. I hope you are allowed to get yours or find the funding to have the surgery done. Good luck to you and peace light and love with many thinner healithier days ahead of you. HUGS Connie

Robby.... Have to say, you've done a great job and you look fantastic. I hope things are going much better with life in general and you and your wife have worked thru the difficult times. That certainly doesn't help with the feelings of depression. If you are still struggling I gotta say hang in there, there WILL be a light at the end of the tunnel.. when you least expect it!!

Robby - Just wanted to say congrats on your weight loss, you look FAB. I am really sorry that you are having problems with your wife, I hope that you won't be offended by what I have to say next (it is only meant with the best of intentions), have you thought about seeing a marriage or pastoral counselor with your wife to find out why she is so cold and distant. Please know of my continued prayer for you and your family. God Bless, Leslie

Robby, congratulations on your awesome weight loss! You certainly do look terrific. I was saddened to hear of your problems with the wife and your depression. You know, sometimes we blame everything on our weight, you know- "if only I looked better, he/she would love me more" and then when we actually do get rid of the weight excuse, we see that there are more problems than we anticipated and the weight really had nothing to do with them. I have found counselling to be really helpful, if your wife will not go, go yourself-it does make a difference. As you change your thought processes and the same old way of looking at your life, your wife just may surprise you and start being more attentive. Good luck to you.

Robby, I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! Mine is coming up in just 5 days! I'm going to hit the big 40 this year. Hard to believe, I don't feel that OLD! *laugh* At least I won't be FAT and FORTY and neither will you! Hey...let's face it, we're HOT!

Robby - I am so sorry to hear you are having the problems you are. I sincerely hope the pain goes away on its own and quickly so you do not need to miss more work than you can. I'll keep you in my prayers.
