How is Everyone?? And new pics posted!!

Hey Vickie, Thanks for the kind words. Tell Steve I said hello and we need to get together for some fishing soon. We are blessed as well to have you and Steve as great friends also. Hope you continue to do well and get better and better. I am now actually below 250lbs finally. Hopefully we can all get together soon. Michael D.

Michael, you and your wife are doing TERRIFIC! You must feel great, the both of you. My husband and I both lost weight, about 150 lbs for him and 90 for me without WLS. I started smoking for a year during the time I was losing and then quit smoking in August of '01 and regained 70 lbs. He kept his off and stays between 230ish and 240ish. After gaining so much of my weight back and having so many of my "friends" make comments and gestures to and about me, I decided to go the WLS route. I LOVE what it's done for me. I hope, if no serious complications occur, that my daughter will be able to have the surgery too. She's gained quite a bit since her ex walked out on her when she was in her first trimester. Keep it up and people aren't even going to recognize you before long. You already look SO different. CONGRATS on your new life! Gale

Gale thanks for the wondefully kind words. We are bothing feeling so much better with the weight we have lost so far. We both hope to loose even more as we go along. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. I am glad that you are happy with your results as well and hope that if that is what your daughter feels is right for her that it will all work out great for her as well. God bless you and your family Michael D
