Thanks for the update and CONGRATS !!!! on your fantastic success. On the "blacking out".... are you taking daily multivitamins and B12? Sounds like it could be a B12 deficiency. Hope you get it checked out real soon. Take Care, Karen G PS - Ever hear from Stacey Meaney???? She was post-op 03/15/05

Katie - that is just amazing. Thanks for the update. Your profile was one of the first one's I saw when starting this journey. I now have a surgery date of January 12th. Best of luck in the upcoming Holiday season. Lori

Hey Katie, Wow, Girl! Way to go with that. What is your secret? Huh, huh? Tell us, we are all inquiring minds and NEED to know! Congratulations, though, it's fabulous! Although, the Blackouts are not a good thing . I really hope you get that checked out, asap! I have my consult with Dr. Starr tomorrow morning and am very excited about it, hopefully soon I will be as lucky as you are today! You should be very proud of yourself. Take care and keep posting, Tammy

Katie, You were such a beautiful girl before your surgery, let alone now! I can imagine you're a total knockout! I look forward to seeing your pics! I have a guy that loved me before my surgery as well. Aren't they the best?!! I'm sure he's enjoying the new you (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more!) just as much as you are! Congratulations are the amazing weight loss! Cheers! Lorraine

Congrats Kate ... thanks for the update. I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work ... and enjoy your new lease on life. Wendy
