Update, Finally... :)

Hey Everyone, Happy New Year! Alsmost 2 years later and I'm feeling good and doing great. I have maintained my weightloss of 133 lbs and am now wearing size 3/5 or xsm/sm. I'm finally so happy with myslef and my life. I've been so busy these days I never have a chance to get on here. I started school In December for medical assistant and thats been going very well (i'm here now, waiting on my instructor). I really can't beleive that its been alsmost 2 years already. The time has flown by. I lost 100% of my weight in the 9 months after my surgery, which I still can't belive either. Had the tummy tuck almost a year ago, and the end results are great. Kids, are great, my husband is doing weel, he lost 175lbs since his surgery in April 04. Our marriage is rocky, we we are trying to work on it. So many changes between the both of us, things have been difficult. But other than that, things are great. So anyways, I just wanted to give a quick update cause I haven't done so in ages. Hope all is well with my fellow marchers. Enjoy the new year everyone, Take care! Kelley 265/132

Congratulations, Kelley. Although there have been ups and downs, you seem to be doing great! I am proud of you. Keep it up.

Hi Kelley; It's nice to hear from you. I'm glad that you are well and it sounds like you've had great success. I hope the new year brings you continued success and good health. Mike

Hi Kelley! Great to hear from you! The changes in perception brought on by this surgery sure can be hard on relationships. It seems to reveal all of the flaws that were there all along. Dan and I have struggled too, but I feel I can say with assurance that we are going to make it. I hope you do too. Flaws are everywhere--we are just used to lying to ourselves about them. At least that is my theory. Good luck with your schooling! Joy

Kelley, It's great to hear from you. I checked out your pictures from pre and post PS and you are looking fantastic girl!!! I'm sorry to hear about the relationship problems. Major changes in lifestyle can really put a strain on even the strongest of relationships. I wish you good luck with working it out. Also congratst for taking the initiative to get back into school that is another big change for the better for you. Keep us up to date on how you are doing. Leslie
