Hello friends.  Paul and I both are very glad we had this surgery together so we can get thru it a little easier.  Paul down about 125 pounds and I am down about 110.  This is absolutely wonderful.  Took a trip to Vegas in August and I did not have to wear the seatbelt extender!!!  Yeah!!  Went thru our closet today and tried on clothes we haven't worn for years.  It was like going shopping all over again.  Thank goodness we have an outlet to get our clothes to others who need the larger sizes.  This journey is not always easy, but it is doable.  And there are so many WOWS that come our way that everyday is a new venture.  Being able to cross our legs - sits on Paul's lap - sit in a chair without fear of it breaking - walking up a flight of stairs without having to stop for air - saving all that money on our grocery bill!  And many many more.  We still have a ways to go, but we will get there.  This coming week I must have a hystorectomy due to a large tumor on my ovary and grade one cancer in my uterus.  Yes..I am a little scared about all this, but the Doc does think the surgery will remove all the bad stuff and no chemo would be needed, but will not know for sure until surgery is performed.  I plan on speaking with my WLS Doc at our October appt about any of this cancer stuff being linked to WLS in any way.  Really don't think it would be, but it would be nice to know if others have had this happen to them.  Really, I think it is just the luck of the draw and I got the short stick this time.  But please....all you ladies out there - get your annual exams and mammograms every year!  They are very important!  Other than that, all is well here in Round Rock Texas and I am under 300 pounds!!  Right now at 283!  Yippee!  Love and hugs to all!
