    Haven't seen you on here in a while...how you doing? Any new pictures?
  2. Sorry I haven't been around - had some back problems from the weight loss - my upperback had a hard time carrying around a apron stomach (skin that hangs over) That was where the majority of my weight "was". Was!! I had surgery on Sept 13th - and they took off 64 pds. It went from hip to hip just above the pubic area. I've carried this stomach apron for 26 years (after the birth of my first child) It went down over my lap,thighs and over the knees. It is now gone! So if you noticed lately my weight went down really fast.. that is why. I still have a way to go, but I'm well on my way!! God Bless ya All

    Hi...I see your from Michigan....me too. I lived in Elk Rapids, just North of Traverse City. I grew up in Thompsonville! I know live in Florida. I had the lap band done in Port Huron in 2004, which was has been a big failure. I'm going for a revision to the sleeve in June with a DR in Florida, where I live now. I'm so excited, but a bit scared too. I went thru this process with the lap band and was just fine, so hopefully this surgery will be a breeze too. I wish you all the luck! Take one day at a time. Your body is going thru a big change....just as we women do when we are prego! Have a great day!

    yes...I'm flying to San Diego on 5-25-11 and will be picked up at my hotel on Thurs am 5-26-11 taken to Tijuanna Mexico and have surgery there that morning. Dr. Ramos Kelly is my surgeon. I'm taking a coworker with me who is a RN and she speaks spanish. She has also had the by-pass done a few years back.

    That is what I've heard from everyone who has had the surgery so far, been at a high BMI. Looks like some are at a much lower BMI and having the surgery....this I don't understand.

    Sounds like you are doing good. I see so many complaining of pain....did you have alot of pain...or did the idea of getting thinner...out weigh it?

The Times They Are A Changin (9)

Written May 18th, 2011

Today marks 4 months since I have had my bariatric sleeve surgery... I remember so many times before surgery, I would wonder on "where I'd be" ~ 3 months from now, or one year later. Would this surgery really change my life, could I really obtain goals/dreams I've wanted all my life ~ or would they forever remain an elusive dream?! To say my body is undergoing a shape-shift, would be an understatement. I can barely keep up with the changes I now notice

Spring Blessings (8)

Springtime Is The Land Awakening.... The April Winds Are The Morning Yawn

I just love spring, it awakens all your senses and renews ones spirit after such a long, grey winter. As I walk around my yard and notice the first buds appearing on our trees, it reminds me of myself. Just as this tree is starting a new, fresh season, so am I. So many changes happening within my body, in so little time… that it is just fascinating.

Hello World (7)

Outside my living room window there stands this odd tree, or shall I say "trees" - a sweet pink rose whose roots somehow intertwined with apple in their youth - which have now grown and combined to form this most unique vision. For years now, I've sat on my sofa watching the ever changing tree move from beautiful, new green buds in the spring, to full green foliage for our summer enjoyment. Apples and pink roses, side by side, such an odd combination

New Way of Living (6)

Home... it does a body good! *lol* It was wonderful to be home, to be finished with my surgery - now I could focus on mending my wounds and getting my body reformatted to the new diet, or way of living. Walking into the house, knowing the kids were waiting on me - nearly brought me to tears. Tho I was only gone for a few days... it seemed like weeks! I was alittle sore/stiff after the 2 and half hour drive home and just wanted to get comfortable.

Homeward Bound (5)

I awoke a few hours later to a sleepy hospital... it was about 1 a.m. The nights seem forever long when you really need the most rest. I checked out my surgery wounds, most were tiny, as they were able to do the surgery laparoscopically - there were 5 incisions in total. Two of them only had 3 staples to close them, another had 4 staples, the other 5 staples - the largest wound, found under my left breast had about 11 staples. That was the site with the
