Good Morning I know it has been a very long time since I last was here. Alot has been going on in my life first and foremost I now weigh 130 pounds compared to 435 pounds. I am so very happy and loving my new job, which I have started in April. I love it so much. Life is treating me very well. I never thought that I would be working. I am working in a nursing home and love all the residents I showed them all the picture of what I used to look like and they said no way that is not you and I said oh yes it is. My hubby and I have been enjoying life. Hope you all are doing well my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love Kathy

Jan. 8~~~~~~~ Hello all sorry it has been so long since I have updated but have been busy and tired. I went to my own pcp on Monday Jan. 6,2003 and she wanted to weigh me and I said no I do not want to weigh until I go back to see the surgeon and she said you can close your eyes if you want. So I got on the scales and kept my eyes opened and she kept moving the scale thingy to the left and I kept saying keep going and going. Well I have LOST 24 POUNDS SINCE DECEMBER 23,2002 I was so excited my hubby was there with me and said see I told you you had lost. I was so very very happy. I go to see the surgeon on the 29th of January. So far since I have started this from the beginning of April 2002 I have lost a total of 55 pounds that is so great. I am feeling wonderful and would have this surgery all over again. Hope every one is doing well. I want to wish all the best to you all. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Take care and God Bless you all (((((((((HUGS)))))))))) love ya

Hello All I am back and I am feeling really great!!!!!! My DH is a very big help to me he has been doing everything for me. And my Angel Sue has been so super keeping you all updated on me. Thanks so very much my Angel Sue!!!!! Love you Sue!!! Now as far as the operation goes I was in no pain until the second day after surgery when I had the dry heaves and let me tell you they hurt so much. I not only had them once I had them twice. Took some pain medicine then felt better and have been doing really well since. I have been walking all the time and drinking my water. Eating as much as I can. I can now get out of the recllner without holding on to the chair which is such an accomplishment. And the first shower was so wonderful. I have been to the stores and walked and walked I loved it. Was a little tired when we got home but took a nap and felt lots better I do feel better when I am up and walking. I am so glad that I had this surgery and I would definitly do it again. I was a little bit upset when I woke up from the surgery and discovered that they had to ask my DH if they could cut off my wedding ring. I asked them where my wedding ring was and they said we had to cut it off from your finger cause your hands were so swollen. They did give the ring to my hubby. When they told me they cut it off I cried and cried and they said oh look she is crying. Then when my DH came into the recovery room he showed me he had the ring I was ok then. We are going to renew our vows so we will be getting new rings. Well will go for now cause it is almost supper time. You all are so wonderful thank you so much for all your support will up date my file later k. BIG ((((HUGS)))) to you all Love you all Kathy
