I know that i have lost some more since i have been to the doctors but i do not have a scale so i will have to wait tell then.

My doctor is having me clean it 3 to 4 times a day with hydrogen peroxide and stuffing the hole with gauges. I go back to him this wednesday. please pray that everything is alright. I am a little nervous. I just want it to go away. Otherwise everything else is fine. I am getting around really good but not pushing to fast or hard. I will update my profile after i come back from the doctors wednesday. God bless Geneane
08/23/04 Hello everyone, I am sorry that it has been along time since i have updated my profile. I have lost a total of 53 pounds in 4 1/2 weeks then I hit my first plateau. it has been about 4 weeks since i have loss weight but i am lossing inches. my dr told me that it is harder to lose inches then weight so i was happy. I bought me a pair of smaller jeans and the were still TOO BIG. I have no clothes to wear when i return to work but i am happy. LOL I thought i would not be so happy to not have clothes to wear lol. but everything is going fine and i know that my weight lose will pick back up. my body is in shock because of all the weight lose in a short period of time i was too lol. i have not lost that much weight at one time in a long long time if ever lol. But i want to thank you all for your support and prayers. I am glad I am on the loser side. I know that this is kind of off the subject but I have to say something to you all about my fiance'. He is the most wonderful man i have ever meet. He has been though this with me all the way. He really takes care of me not because he feels obligated but because he truly loves me as I love him. Well, I will updated sooner. Keep up the good work everyone we will all reach our goals. In wls and life. Geneane
11/20/04 hello everyone, I am srry that it has been a long time since an update but i have had alot under my belt these last couple of months. I have just gotten married and moved into a new home. Everything is well I have lost 90lbs now all together. I have been postop for 4 1/2 months. I am doing good. I have been having pain in my lower left part under my stomach.

12/17/04 Hello everyone. I hope all of you are having a wonderful holidays. I am doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a problem with my ovaries a month ago but it is all better now. It feels so good to hear people say how good i look now. They even have a nickname for me now it is slim lol. I saw a pic of myself that i took at the beginning of the year WOW!!!!!!!!! what a difference i could not believe it, me and my friends could not believe the difference in the pics as well. We all cried after seeing that pic of me. Then at work my 5th year anniversary was this month and they posted a pic of me i took when i first started working there in 1999 oh my god i did not know that i looked like that. And again me and my friends where amazed of the difference of how i look now, it really is a major difference. Then we started thinking, man if i look like this now what will i look like this time next year. Whew, i cannot wait. I am so thankful to God for blessing me. Not only did he bless me to have another opportunity to have a healthier life but he bless me with a Wonderful Man. I love him so much he has been through this with me thick and thin i can always know that he is there no matter what. He gave me the support when now one else knew (but God) that i needed it. Well it is time for me to go. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Blessful New Year. Don't party too hard. Geneane Brooks
