August 8,2006-Hello!!! I just wanted to update you on my journey! I went to see my PCP on Monday, July 31 and I am down 95 lbs!!!!! The weightloss slowed down some....and I got off track a little but all is good now and I am committed to my journey more the ever. I am exercising 6 days a week and making healthy food choices. Also I have joined a program that is ran by the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Minority Health called The Healthy Black Family Project. They offer alot of fitness and health classes including Water Aerobics...and they are all FREE!!!! I went for my fitness assessment today and I can't wait to start!! Also I am proud to announce that I have a new Angelette, Erica Gordon!!! I am honored to be her Angel and I will do my best to offer her all of my support through her journey. Thank you for all of the love and encouragement. Love and Blessings, Tonya

March 29,2006- Hello all! I just had my 4 month post-op appointment with Dr.Gagne and I have lost 80 lbs....I know weigh 250!!!! I am so excited and still getting used to the new me! So much has changed for me already. My confidence has come back and I can not stop smiling...I am soooooo happy! Also, I am becoming a little flirt...smile!!! Also my daughter Jada told me every feature that is different and everyday tells me how nice I look....I have the sweetest daughter! Sometimes I just stare in the mirror and can not believe it's me! I know that I have some way to go but I am already at a better place and I thank God every day for giving me a second chance at life.

January 25,2006- Hello all! I just came back from my 2 month follow-up appointment and I have lost......53 pounds...down to 277!!! I feel great and very Blessed. I had a bowling party for my daughter Jada this past Saturday and I bowled 2 games straight, wasn't tired or anything, before surgery I probably wouldn't have bowled at all! It seems like all I want to do is be on the go! Again, I can not thank you enough for all of your love and support.

December 10,2005- I had my follow-up appointment with Dr.Gagne's office on Thursday, Dec 8th and I lost 19pounds since surgery, I am now 311!!! I am so excited and very pleased with my WLS. Nicole,Dr.Gagne's PA, told me that I can start soft foods today so I can't wait to see what the pouch likes! I am in no pain...stopped taking the Roxicet this past Tuesday and I feel good. Also on Thursday, I received a wonderful suprise! My job sent me a beautiful plant with Carnations!!! The card that was attached had a very heart warming message. Back to work on Monday!
December 14,2005- On Sunday the 11th, I felt awful. Everytime I tried to stand up I felt as if I was going to faint. So I went to the West Penn Hospital's ER and found out that I was severly dehydrated and my iron levels were really low, down to a six. While I was in the hospital they ran every test they could and even gave me another EGD. There was no blockage and no leaks so all was good. After pumping me up with fluids and 2 units of blood I was finally released today and I feel so much better. All I can say is PLEASE get your liquids in... SIP, SIP, SIP!!!!! I had to learn the hard way!December 23,2005-Hello! This past Wednesday evening I had to take my daughter Jada to the ER at Children's (she had an accident at school but she is okay, praise God!!!)
Well I got on the scales while we were waiting for the Dr. to come in and even with snow boots, jeans(that are falling off my azz!!!), and a sweater on, I am down 34 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks, I am now 296 lbs!!!!
This IS going to be a Merry Christmas!!!
