Hello everyone. I Pray all is well with you all. Well November 7, was my 8 month anniversary and I have lost 156 pounds. I weigh 294 pounds. I was 450 pounds on my surgery day (march 7, 2005.) My husband had his on October 10, 2005. He is down 67 pounds. He started out at 393 pounds. The only thing is that after a week after his surgery, we had to rush him back to the hospital because he had terrible pains. It turned out to be, a BOWEL OBSTRUCTION. They had to do a 5 1/2 hour surgery on him. He was in the hospital for about 2 weeks, then last week he just kept vomiting up all his drinks and his vitamins and stuff, so they put him back in the hospital and they "SCOPED" him. They said he had a narrowing of his throat. They had to make his throat (?) wider. He is doing WONDERFUL now. Lisa 450/294

Congrats to you Terree. You look awesome! Isn't just incredible to fit into these small sizes? I'm am also in a 12/10. To some it isn't small, but to me, it's tiny! Great pics. Keep up the great work. Stacey 283/170/160

I am 5'7 started at 315 and had my surgery on March 9, 05. I am now at 180 and wear a size 10-12. I have set my goal for 155. My surgeon said 160 was where he wanted me if I plan to have plastics because he said I'd have about 10-15 lbs of skin removed. I am thrilled with where I am at and so I just figure go along for the ride and see where it takes me. I am averaging about 10-12 lbs a month for the last 3 months so I figure I can reach goal before my one year out. If I stepped it up could probably be there by New Years Eve but I just had surgery and can't do any type of work out except walking. Take care Jeannie 315-180-> 155
