Dorothy, No plastic surgery for me. I still have some more weight I would like to lose (altho I am at my surgeon's goal for me) as I'm only 5'2" and 174 lbs right now. I have thought about PS, but not sure that I will ever do it. I do have excess skin, but so far I can deal with it. Maybe if I was at a normal BMI then maybe. Just not sure at this point. Mary

Denise, Arbonne is GREAT. Both Hal and I use the products on a daily basis. I'm sure there are products in the line that would be of benefit to you too. I will write you personally via e-mail tonight with more information. Mary

I just had an anchor-cut panniculectomy 3 weeks ago and have been wondering about all of my February siblings. I was just generally curious if very many of us Feb. '04 graduates are at this point of the journey...being so close to our 2 year anniversary and all. Most of our weight loss should be stabilizing or slowing down and that is the point where most people consider ps options. Have you already gone through a ps procedure? If not, are you considering it? If yes: are you happy with the results? would you like to have more? Thanks for anyone *****plies, Dorothy

Denise, I'm back. The last few weeks I've been very busy with starting to be an Arbonne consultant and then building my business too. I'm enjoying it, but it is a lot of work too learning about the products, the company, and information to learn. Meeting lots of wonderful people along the way. I'm doing OK. Hal and I are working on a challenge to eat better and exercise at least daily. It's been interesting and so far I have exercised each day, sometimes twice. Millie (our dog) and I are taking longer walks than ever before. Good for both of us. I'm not losing any weight so far, but am trying. I'm proud of what I have accomplished. I'm at my surgeon's goal (6 lbs under), but still would like to lose some more weight. My health is GREAT, no more high blood pressure, no more sleep apnea, arthrisitis is better too. I love being able to keep up with Hal when we walk. We are doing so many more things than ever before. The surgery for me has been such a blessing. Mary

Hey Denise, I am here, and doing pretty good. I am having some issues with extra skin and rashes but will wait a bit longer to have anything done. I look in the mirror and am noticing a smaller person looking back finally, after loosing 240 pounds. I need to jump start my weight loss again at a standstill for a whille, any suggestions? I still feel heavy but everyone says that I am tiny.. Massive knee pain 7 months after one knee repalcement still tons of pain and the other knee needs to be done. I have a great loving husband and wonderful kids, the holidays are good but sad it's my 2nd without my mom since her unexpected death. I am still horrified I hope you are doing well and things are good for you. Happy Holidays, Jill
