Hi my OH family, my angelette Phyllis is having her RNY lap surgery on March 8th, just 5 days from now. I'm asking all of you to please keep Phyllis in your prayers and sign her surgery support page....she's excited and yet nervous. Please show her some love. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/status.php?N=M1127062798 Hugs, Dana

i have not experienced a significant weight gain. i got down to 139 and now i'm holding steady at 141. i go up and down between 141-143 depending on the day. i have always tracked my food and activities on fitday...it's a great site!! Steph 350/141 @ goal! (5'8")

I just wondered if anyone else is experiencing weight gain? I started at 284 and have continually been losing - It has been quite slow lately but the last couple of days it is creeping up. I did hit 158 lbs but today the scale shows 164. Let me tell you I am feaking out. I have started to track with Fitday.com to see if I am screwing up and to get an idea on what I am eating. I am exercising and do my water and vitamins. I am really scared that I am a failure. Karen RnY Feb 22/05 284/158/164

Hey darling, I can't wait to see you, oh girl I'm jealous, just joking, but I sure can't wait til I get my chance too. I'm so happy for you, the PS will make you feel better about yourself. Glad to hear things are going ok, the swelling and tendernous will improve daily. Ok, give me the scoop on the butt thing , I need one. Also on the thigh lift, does it actually get rid of the flab on the inner-thigh? The outside of my legs aren't to bad, but the inside is gross. Take is easy lady, be good to yourself. Hugs, Dana

Hey Susan - great to hear you are doing well. I had my one-year appt with Dr. Garth yesterday and he told me to wait another 6 months and try to lose another 20 lbs before plastics. Is your plastic surgeon in the Houston area? Lynne 297.5/195.5/150ish 125 in my dreams
