I love the 38 long comment! The tennis balls in socks is also a good analogy, although I don't think I could give myself that much credit! I have been likening my boobs to deflated water balloons and my butt a soufle that just crashed! Small price to pay, I suppose! Annie

Congratulations to all........ My highest weight was 320 in 2001 I went on a diet and lost some weight and gained and lost again.....Before surgery I weighed in at 240 pds. Surgery day I weighed 231 pds. and today I am down to 145pds....for a total of 86pds since surgery day....My doctors goal weight for me is 133pds, And my goal weight is 139 pds standing at 5`1 and a half......The weight loss has really SLOWED down......

Congrats Jeannie! I'm in the process of scheduling my one year bloodwork at this time. My one year appointment with the surgeon is 3/31. A little late, but oh well! Figure at least I'm going. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to see your progress posts. TraciL
