Thanks so much Tink.

I really can't wait to see you. I am ready for the dinner whenever you are ready. Tink, I think I am doing good I have come a long way from where I started and I am so truley happy about that. I am just having a very hard time with my water. I walk a lot in the evenings and during my lunch hour. I still feel like I missing out on the most that I can do as far as my excersising goes. My first goal was to get out of the 200 and now it seems like it so hard to get to that point. I am 215 now which I am sooooo over joyed with. I just want to be out of the 200 and I thought I would have been there by now. Any advice you can give to get me out this little slump that I am in. Mo

Hi Tink, Hope you are doing well, I continue to pray for you and your family. I also hope to meet you in person, someday. I had lapband WLS-Jan 29th and have successfully lost 49.5 pounds without restriction. That amazes me because I have yet to experience what the band truly has to offer. Im very proud of myself and although Im not losing weight rapidly, I am totally ok with that. I love to exercise. Starting weight-290 Current weight-240.5ish Take care Tink, Moni

Hi there! Like I said- I'm new to the VA Boards. I'm having surgery on May 29th and I can't wait! I have been thinking about this for so long and it has been such a long process. I'm ready for all the work and challenges that lie ahead. I'm just ready to be on the other side! The people I have met here on OH have been INCREDIBLE. It has been so nice to have so much support and help, people who understand where you are coming from and where you are headed- it has all been a great help. As the clock ticks down to surgery I find myself spending more and more time here on the boards. It will be great to get to know all of you also- Thanks again for the great support!

Kathy . WOW !!! We are almost surgery buds. I had my surgery May 27th 2004 . I would take this time to read as many long term post op profiles as you can . Ready yourself for the journey ahead . I have some literature that I can send you if you want . It has things that I think all GBS patients should read and understand about their surgery and their bodies . I use this in my mentoring . Please let me know if I can be of any help to you at all . Take care , Natalied

Hey Nat! It is nice to "see" you on the board. You have a lot going on in your crazy life. My thoughts and my prayers have been with you. About me: surgery 11/30/05, starting weight 305, doctors goal 155, current weight 155, (yeah me!), I went from a 26 to an 8 in pants, from xxl, xxxl shirts to mediums, 8 1/2 - 9 size shoe to 7 - 71/2, no more pain in my joints, no more getting tired from the smallest exhertion,. :) Courtney
