Well in 3 days I will be 3 months post op and have now gotten down to 180!!! yea!!! I am so excited, that is about 60lbs in 3 months. I could have never given myself a better gift. I feel so much better I am alot more active, am never hungry and have finally learned to get in all my water a day. I thank you all for your love and support as that is what keeps most of us focused and going down the rough road to get to the "other side". I wish you all safety and happiness through this holiday season and I will hope to post again soon. Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Also thank you all for the prayers and notes regarding my son hnd his elbow surgery, he is doing OK very sore and in alot of pain but he is home and we know he will heal quickly.! ^j^

Hi Emma, Just a little note to say thankyou for your message - it means a lot to me. Being over here in the UK I feel a little 'out on a limb' as not a lot of people have heard of this type of surgery, let alone had it! After reading your story I feel inspired and even more certain I am doing the right thing. Wishing you all the best in your new life, and thanks again. Big hugs, Bianca xxxx
