Thanks Steph, I am definitely living the life of a pampered woman right now. Hubby and Logan are great expecially hubby. He waits on me and had taken the whole week off and cleaned a different room in he house each day. I went to the doc today and he said I am doing fantastic. He removed one of my drains so I am happy.

WOW! I can hardly believe it has been 18 months since I had my gastric bypass surgery!! This has been an amazing journey for me and I have been blessed to not have any complications! I serve a mighty God!! In church this past Sunday the minister was talking about being persistent in our faith and I remember praying for many many years about my weight and being able to loose weight and keep it off. I yo yo dieted my self up to 327 pounds and did not know what I was going to do. In 2005 I blessed with a new job that had a gym (no excuse for working out anymore) and I found out they would cover gastric bypass surgery!!! And boy was I excited...Did God not show up and show out? So here are some of my stats: When I hopped on the operation table I was 318 lbs...my highest weight was 327 lbs (I lost a whopping 9 lbs before surgery, 4 of which was with the prep I had to do before surgery) BMI From 52.9 to 26.4 Weight from 327 to 163 (it feels good to be half the woman i was) Pants size from a very tight 28 to a nice fitting 10....depending on who makes it (like my pants I have on today are an 8 and I have a few 6's in my closet) Shirt Size from a size 3xl to a medium and some smalls! I have definitely been blessed these last 18 months! Pants Size Before 28 very tight at that After size 10! I could go on and on but I am work and I guess I need to get to work! lol

Thanks Laura!! Anna
