Thank you for the well wishes ~ i surely to appreciate them!!.... My dental work is nearly completed.. it's been a very long process, and dealing with the pain from the dental issues was actually in my opinion worse than the surgery that i've had done between my RNY and gallbladder removal... the most important piece of advice i can give you going from 283lbs to 104 is that you need to SEE YOURSELF and the changes you have made... other people commenting on your weight loss can be a boost to your confidence or self esteem, but really be sure that you are able to see the new you through your own eyes.... don't confuse your own before with the after physically - and welcome the mental changes :))) happy holidays ~~
