Hi Angela! I have a 2004 Buick Rendezvous and yes, I love it! I'm averaging just over 18 miles per gallon. That's not the best-but I'll take it over some the mileage some of the big SUV's get. I've driven vans before, but for the last few years, I've been in a car. It's nice to get above car level again! I have a third row seat, but I rarely use it, and leave it folded up most of the time. Last year, My mom, an uncle, my dog(and her kennel), and all of our luggage fit very nicely in it on a trip to Tennessee- a 12 hour trip from where I am in Michigan. And back then, I weighed 85 pounds more than I do now, and still was comfortable. Wonder if my m.p.g will improve as I lose more weight! I guess that's all I have to say- if you have any specific questions, you can email me at [email protected]. Congrats on your weight loss- you're doing great! Take care! Peggy

Trisha, Way to go! You have been waiting along time for this moment. Cheri****! Love your new life. Melanie

I am down 101 lbs as of today!! Yay!! I have 95 lbs to go to reach surgeons goal, about 115 pounds to go to reach my personal goal. Having this surgery is the BEST thing I've ever done in my life!! These past 6 months have been stellar and I just keep wondering, wow, what's going to happen next?!! It's been a joy ride so far!!! Trisha -101 lbs since 3/8/05

Scarlette: Girl you are looking great! What a difference since March! I hope to get by there and see you but since I work in Staunton, it's a bit out of the way. I'll try to introduce myself next time I'm up 29. Keep up the good work. Dave

You go girl!!! Yea for you!!!! Then you will only be 13 lbs from those "Onederfuls"" How awesome!! Youve done great and I can see a big difference in your pics!! I feel ya there tho! I get all kinds of comments and I still dont see it even tho I have went from 24s to 14s..its still hard to get used to!!! And I still have days when I feel as fat as I did when I started!! Maybe we never will get used to it..but it sure is fun trying!!! Keep up the good work!!! Patti
