Thank you! I feel great! Today I weighed in at 120.8 (my secret goal of 120) after being at 124/123 for like six months! How are you doing lately? I haven't logged in here in so long!! I miss it and everyone here.

Looking pretty fab yourself!!!! WE ROCK!

Earl you look great! Congrats on your transformation!

Thank you so much��

What an incredible change you've made so far. Keep it up!!

Thank you so much and much luck and success to you as well! I am constantly in awe when I look at myself! I am so slim! The other day I was feeling around and was like what is this bulge and it turns out, that's my ribs. Yeah, crazy. That is not something I ever dreamed of. And me in a bikini? Nevermind the skimpiest one i could find! Haha. I figure you only live once so might as well enjoy it! Being able to look in the mirror and love the way I look and wanting to show off my body is just the best experience and I hope that everyone on this journey gets to feel the way I feel now.

The 12 weeks seemed to go by very quickly at least. I finished on 12/4/12 and I will be sleeved on 2/14/13...I'm very excited.

THANK YOU for the support!! I appreciate it so much and I am so delighted to see that you have ALSO been extremely successful these last few months! You look fantastic!

Hey Earl...That's great you sound so happy. Kaiser seemed to take forever with me, so when they asked if I'd like to have the surgery in the WLA Kaiser, for a sooner date, I jumped on it. I work in Downtown LA, so it wasn't out of the way for my pre op. Wow, you must be awsome sauce on the sax, I will look up your band and see what gigs you have coming up. Me & my hubby most recently went to the glass house in Pomona to see the "Implants", and "Assuming we Survived", but him & I love all kinds of music, and love listening to live bands...so i'd definitly be down to go hear ya. Another question, how are your tattoos w ur weight loss? I ask everyone this, just want everyones input. I have quite a few (not as many as you), lol...they all look fine still, except one on my ankle...its about 5inx5in, has shifted! LOL, it looks kinda funny now...not the tattoo itself but the placement...ugh kinda sucks...but what ever, I'll take weight loss w a crooked tattoo any day.

I appreciate your advice. I'm definitly on it. Things vary so much from person to person, but it's important to me to know as much as I can for when my time comes.

I'm paying completely out of pocket and since that is the case, I am going to Mexico to have it done since it's much cheaper. I will be on FMLA through work, which luckily will hold my position for 12 weeks, but the possibility of being off work that long without pay is scary. God will provide, though.

Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to it. Hope all is well with you. =)

Hey there Earl...I see you had your WLS at San bernadines...so is that w Kaiser? There is a Kaiser subgroup here as well. I started out w Kaiser Fontana, but had my surgery at the WLA kaiser...so I would be faster. Your not too far from me. I live in POmona. Welcome to the Site...you'll love it here. What kind of music do you play?

Hi there, How's it going? I hope you are doing well and rocking that sleeve!

I hope you feel better. Man I am loving the shopping. My husband isn't loving it as much though. You are doing great.
