Girl, you look fantastick!!!! I was just checking out the before and after picture files and found yours. My wife had the surgery on 08-22-01 and, at the time, weighed 355. She has now lost 145, or there abouts. I just wanted to pass on the comment.

LuAnn, you look absolutely awesome, girl! You are definetely an inspiration to us pre-ops out here. I am scheduled for an open RNY on july 9th, and I only hope to have a portion of the success you have had. Thanks for sharing your story and pictures.

WOW! You look great. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to all us "pre-ops". Ditto -- did you have plastic surgery? Congratulations.

LuAnn-Congradulations on taking the first step which led to this spectacular goal of 157 pounds. I noticed that your arms looked firm in your "after" pitcure. Did you have to have plastic surgery like I hear many people do after loosing so much weight? Or did you not have to deal with the loose skin issue. You did not mention exercise in your profile. Just wondering.

LuAnn, I pray that everything went well. I have been hoping to hear how you are doing. I have been told by Cigna (worthless) that we have to go through the entire appeals process for our daughters just as you and I had to do. Yes, I have contacted my senator about the insurance demons once again. LOL I am leaving at midnight Wednesday night to go to Georgia for the pre-admissions stuff and then back on Sunday for the surgery on Tuesday. You remain in my prayers and I hope we can connect when I am once on the "other side" with you. Hugs, seadreamer13
