Well glad that you are back..................... I hope that your recovery is fast for you................

I'll be going in for a hernia repair in Oct or Nov. I pray you heal fast and are on your feet soon. I have lost 106 pounds since my surgery, glad to see you also passed the century mark. I read your profile you seem like a wonderful lady, God bless you and your family.

Congrats on getting the TT done. How much do you weigh? Linda

I started at 245 now I weigh 133.

How do you know if you have a hernia? What are the signs? Keep up the good work Gloria! You're doing great Kimberley 248/236/142.5/125 Some day I hope!

Gloria, Congrats on your weight loss. I haven't reached goal yet - and probably won't get a tummy tuck now anyway - as I haven't had kids (boob job is top priority for me anyway!) But I'm sending you prayers for speedy recovery! Barbie 281/195/170ish
