Just wanted to stop in and say hi! You guys look like you have a great little group here. It's interesting to be able to compare where I'm at with others that had their surgery around my date. To date I have lost 70 pounds & over 50 inches total. I am down from a size 26W to 16/18's. I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel already! Well, yall know! I post mainly on the Texas message board. I love looking at your progress & comparing! I too have faced the dreaded stalls & then lose 6 pounds in a week! Up your water, protein & exercise & it'll move! I know I need to exercise. All I do now is walk a couple of times a week and not much over a mile then, so that is my goal! Take care!

Welcome to the October board, Gina. The more the merrier! We're all going through pretty much the same stuff, but it helps to go through it with someone else. Cheryl

Gina, Welcome to the October Board, I love the experiences of the people from the many different states, every state has different set ups for teh rules for having this surgery and the type of support offered. I have also gone from a 26[28w to a 16/18 my surgery was 10/11 i have lost 68 lbs since surgery and with the 30 lbs i lost before surgery i have lost a total of 98. Please stop by the October Board again, everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Mary L 306/208/130
