It's been 13 months since my surgery. I have lost 95 pounds, and I feel terrific! At the time I had my surgery, my weight had gone up, and my BMI was 41.5. Now, I am almost to a normal BMI. It is now 26.6 and my weight is 170 pounds. The first month after surgery, I felt awful....but I knew that would all change, and it did. Now, my sister-in-law just had the same surgery on April 5, 2001. All my prayers are with Karen now. Soon she will be on her way to a more happy and HEALTHIER life!! P.S. I will be updating my photos very soon!!! Good luck to all who are waiting for insurance approval, and to those who already have their surgery dates scheduled. It's a huge step, but it is very much worth it!!!

Almost time, you will begin your new life soon. I wish you the best of luck, and a speedy healing. I look forward to seeing you in chat to tell me all about it.

Emerald....I LOVE YOUR NAME! And I just bet with that red hair you're Irish! (can't fool this hillbilly). Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that we are kindred spirits in a sense in that we will be nearly sharing a surgery date. Mine will be at St. Vincent's Hospital in Cleveland the day before yours(3/8/00). We also posted our photos on just about the same date too. Anyway, Good luck to you and your family. Keep me in your prayers as I will keep you in mine. God Bless.
