My Support Group

Nov 13, 2006

I had my support meeting this last Saturday.  I love my group!!!!!!  The women in it are so lovely, smart and supportive.  They have really helped me through this last 20 months since I began this journey.  Early on I had so many questions that they answered.  They helped me along after surgery when I felt so awful.  They have been "there" for me!!!  Thanks to all of you.

At Goal

Oct 28, 2006

Sixteen months after my sugery, I have finally hit my goal!!!  I didn't think I would ever get here, but I am one of the lucky ones who lost all of their additional weight.  My PCP thought I wouldn't get under 175lbs  and I would have been happy with that.  Now I am sitting at 155 and even happier.  Once again, I have to say that I am so grateful to have had this surgery, thankful for my husband and my family for their support, and thankful for all my dear friends on this site and in my support group.  I would not be here without each and every one of you.

Well, I don't like change, but, I will try to get my profile converted to the new format.  Computers are not my strong suit, so it will probably take a while. As the season is changing and getting cooler, I have found that all of last years clothes are too big for me.  Quite a change from a year and a half ago when I would have to get new clothing because I had gained weight and they were all too small.  This surgery has changed my life for the better and I have no regrets.......well only one.......I wish I had done it sooner.
