    Thank you for your response. I also sometimes eat emotionally and sugar has become my favorite. That is why I am
    overweight. This will be the tool I need to lose weight. The most important part is keeping it from coming back and
    that has been my problem all these years. Congratulations on getting close to your goal. I cannot wait until I can say that too.
    Have a Happy New Year. I hope you went out and bought yourself a nice new dress for yourself to show off all you accomplished.

    Hello. I noticed on your profile that you had started with the lap band and then got the sleeve. My original plan when I started to investigate surgery, I was going to get a lap band. Now, it seems that I prefer to have the sleeve. I only want to have surgery once. Glad to see that it has been successful for you. I should have my surgery the end of March 2014. At times I get apprehensive, but, know that this is the only option for me to lose weight. I have lost and gained the same 40-50 lbs for ten years now. I weigh more now than ever in my life. I am getting a lot of information from this website and really appreciate all the sharing going on.

    You look great! You have similar starting numbers to me and I'm at 197 right now. I can see 185... it's amazing how much difference 30 lbs can make! And 45 ! Wow! Keep it up... I'm right on your heels.

    hi was wondering were you a lap bander first? I had to have mine removed as I was in such pain and am looking for another solution.
  9. Thanks! It was an incredible experience!

    OMG just saw the clip. Very polished, informative and THIN. The say the camera adds pounds, but seriously you looked terrific.
  11. Doing quite well! Had a bit of a scare yesterday when my blood pressure spiked, but I was at the dr office at the time. Just too much moving about too soon. Got very dizzy and faint but better. Been resting lots. Even though I feel good, I'm having to remind myself to rest!

    Congratulations! Hope all is well and you're resting comfortably.
  13. Thanks guys! Apparently im last so am waiting and waiting! Rooms are nice so is a pleasant wait. Glad I brought my iPad, kindle and a sudukonpuzzle book. Was calm even before the sedative. Just ready for some action!
