Hi Melissa: You might not see the pounds melting off of you but we do! It is difficult to see in yourself. I can remember thinking to myself, Did he really do the surgery? Because I couldn't see much of a difference when I looked in the mirror and in how my clothes fit. Looking back on when I was at my heaviest, a lot of my clothes were tight on me and I stretched them onto my body. Those same clothes were the ones that I didn't think were getting any bigger on me. Then I realized that they were not so hard to button, etc. So, the clothes really were bigger on me. I was just so use to them barely buttoning, etc. Does this make any sense to you? Anyhow~~ you are doing great, you look like you are loosing to me!! Keep up the good work. You have so many "friends" now!!! Love~ MOM

Hooray!!! January 8th is right around the corner. (Weird, I had mine on August 8th......) You are going to breeze right through this and not only will you look and feel better but your confidence will improve so much! I am so happy for you (of course, I'm going to also worry...this is not a surgery to be taken lightly). You are going to be able to do so many more things that you want to do in life. :) The kids will have a brand new Mommy that can run and chase them as well as play with them differently. Imagine the long walks you will enjoy this summer because your knees won't hurt! Won't that be wonderful? Congrats!!!!!YEA!
