Sooo...Since my surgery on June 11 I have been weighing every Monday up until just before my 5 day vacation. I went and had a wonderful time despite not being able to eat anything other than liquids and a few pureed soups.

I got on the scale today and I am 199 AND I fit into an old pair of size 16 pants (I wore 18/20)!
I have not been in the 100's for nearly 20 years!

I think I floated to work today....

Hi Jennifer!
I went to Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. It was a fantastic experience and things seem to be moving along smoothly. How about you? Did you go to Genesis or Trinity?

I started at Genesis and had a horrible experience so I switched to Trininty in April and had my surgery on June 1st. Genesis kept changing the dollar amount out of pocket and how many appointments I had to have with each department.

I had a great surgeon.
