Hi,
Today I had my six month visit with Dr. Bacal.  I weighed in at 159 lbs.  My BMI is now 29 and the Dr. and Terry said I am no longer obese!!  I was so happy to hear that ....that I got all emotional.....lol
Dr. Bacal told me how proud of me he was, that I did everything I was suppose to and that made him very happy.  

I can not thank him or his staff, Terry and Lindsay for everything they have done to help me get through this.  It wasnt only me that did it all.....it was all of US!!!
Terry got me through my documentations and insurance approvals, always being positive and keeping me that way. 
Dr. Bacal did his magic with my surgery.  Without the surgery I never would of been able to get this weight off as quickly as I have.
Lindsay was there to answer all my questions about what I should and shouldnt eat....and I emailed her with many....lol

Im soooooooo very happy with my decision to have bariatric surgery!   Its really changed my life in many ways.   I actually enjoy shopping for clothes now, I like going out to parties or family get togethers.  Im not ashamed anymore.....smile
The begining was hard but I knew what the outcome would be and with everyone helping me I knew I was going to get through this.

My family has been so supportive for me with encouragement and compliments.  All the things I needed to hear to keep me going through some rough times.  

Katie and Beckie.....Mom loves you so much, without your support things would of been so much harder.  Your both always there for me.....not only my daughters, but also my best friends....my life is nothing without you both.

Corey, I love you dearly for standing by me and my decision.  No matter how much I weighed, you always loved me for who I am....that meant the world to me and I love you more with each day.

Uncle Buddy and Aunt Vonnie, all your emails with encouraging words were there for me on those days when I thought I made the worst mistake of my life......Thank you so much for being so proud of me and understanding why I chose to have this surgery.  Some people didnt.....lol   You both have always been there for me and I love you with all my heart.

Judi, my dearest best friend.  Thank you for listening and being there when I needed to cry or vent my feelings.  It meant a lot knowing that my best friend is there for me.  I love you!!!

All of my friends, Yvonne, Colleen, Janet, Norma, Those that I work with and those that Ive grown up with.  Have all been reading my blog and have helped me with so much encouragement.  You all mean so much to me.....Im so thankful for my friends that I love so dearly.

I still have 20-30 more lbs that I would like to get off.  But if that doesnt happen, Im ok with it.........Being 159 lbs is so much better than being 250 lbs!
