Congratulations, Marissa! What exactly are you having done? Tell us a little bit about your journey...this is great news and terrific incentive for everyone who is stil wrestling with the cruddy insurance sagas to keep on keepin' on!! Maureen

The journey of WLS has been great! Everyday is a new exciting day. I have having breast aug. done. I never thought I would need something like this but after WLS they are pretty deflated. So I am going to have them pumped up. I can't believe it has been almost two years. It goes by so fast. I am so happy that I can now enjoy life without the weight. I think it seems that life does move faster when you are thinner! Just a thought. Marissa

Hi Marissa, Congratulations on getting your plastics approved. What Insurance company do you have? You and I share the same WLS date, I can't believe that it's going to be two years on 3/15/06. I have gone from 335 to 185 and I'm still fighting the last 40 pounds, my goal is 145-150 and I am 5'8. I know I can get there, I have slacked off the last few months with the excerise and I know that I have to get back to it. I tried a few months ago to get a consult with a plastic surgeon and because I wasn't at goal they wouldn't see me, so for now that is on hold. I hope to have it done at the end of this year. What do you find the hardest to stick with almost two years out? I try to stick to the basics but find that I do experience hunger much more than I did a year ago. Oh, and I too am a Nascar fan, in fact I was at the races two weeks ago and I'm heading to Vegas this week for the Race. Hope to hear back from you. Kathy 335/185/145 goal!! GO #24 & #48!!!!

I find to that hunger is getting more. And the old drink more water trick does not work anymore. I just try to snack healthly if I do, and of course I am a human so that does not always work. I was in Vegas last year for the race. It was a great time. Not a big Jeff Gordon fan, I am a Dale Jr fan. I hope that this race season is better for both of them. Have a great time in Vegas, Marissa

Marissa, Congratulations! Almost two years to the day for another great re-birth for you. Hopefully, I won't be long behind you on the surgery trail. Connie
