Coming from a star like yourself, those kind words are extra special. I'll be thinking of you in the coming weeks and I pray you have a speedy and uneventful recovery.

Edit: "Continue" to have a speedy recovery! I just saw the pictures that show you are well on your way!

I hope to see you in 2010!

Topic: Happy New Year, Louisiana Losers!
As we enter the new year, I pray you all are taking new challenges, evaluating old goals and ready to come out swinging every chance you get.

Reach out for support and when you find it, hold on tight. Be a friend and share the good times and the bad.

If you fall, get back up because in this journey, we are only defeated when we stop trying.

I want to tackle 2010 -- in 365 bite-size pieces ...

Onward!
Frances

I was scheduled  for surgery on Jan. 12th with Dr. Steeb as well, I was floored when I got the news. This is so discouraging!!

I pray that everything will be ok for Dr. Steeb but at the same time I guess I am being a lil selfish because I am very upset about it...

 There is nothing lightweight about you.  Francis, my dear, you are a forced to reckoned with especially where the tenacity to be successful in weight loss is concerned.  No matter your BMI - you are mighty!!!

Happy New Year!

Hello All,

 I have not been on this site in a while...since having my surgey in July and losing upwards of 60 lbs, I know have a social life again!!! Dr. Steeb was my surgeon, I have my procedure done July 7, 2009 at University Hospital and he is he bomb!!! He was very avaliable for all my questions and concerns and he even sat with me when I woke up in ntensive care. La. Medicaid did pay for my surgery and I did not have any problems at all getting the surgery approved. Day of surgery I was 268 and today I am 205 ish, but I dont run to the scale that often. I look at my clothes size which is down about 5 sizes and I walk the mall without ever needing to sit for a minute and rest. My eating habits have changed, I can still eat basically what I want, but not in the portions that I want, and that helps a lot. Because now I have the willpower to turn away food. I don't check in too often but if I can answer any questions for you guys feel free to call me @ 504-231-8595 my name is Lyn.
