Hello everyone! Well it's been 11wks, and I am feeling fantastic! I have lost a total of 94lbs! I am hoping to make it 100lbs by 3 months post-op. This surgery is absolutely the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Hello everyone! I am doing great. I went back to work yesterday 1-2-02 and did pretty well. I got tired after about five hours, but handled the rest of the day well. As of 12-30-01, I have lost a total of 51lbs and 22 1/2 inches (ankle, calf, thigh, hips, etc.....). So far, I am very glad that I had this surgery!

Hello everyone! The surgery went well. I am back home and recovering more and more everyday. It actually suprises me how well I am doing. Friday, 12-14-01, is my first follow up visit. I can't wait to see how much I have lost as well as get these staples out. Thanks to all for the prayers! God has been good to me!
