New Pictures of Me .. January WLS Conference

Well .. I did it . I hosted my first WLS conference here in Va this past weekend . David Becker and I from the VA boards did a conference for all WLS patients here in VA .. It was awesome . If you go to my profile down at the bottom are some pics .. then there is a link you can go to and view even more. I cannot begin to tell you all how this surgery has changed my life . I am still trying to maintain my weight .. I loose very easy .. and keeping it on is hard .. I know .. sorta the opposite from days past . I am still wearing a size 3 4 and hope this never changes . My friends now call me Tinkerbell .. so I am changing my screen name here to that as well . I love and miss you all .. and hope that your journey is one of many blessings . Natalie - aka TINK

I never put it together, we had our surgeries at the same time. Of course you look 100 times better than I do...but i am working on it...day by day. The weekend was great!! Can't wait to see everyone in June again!! Take care and it was soo nice meeting ya! Leigh Ann

OMG Leigh Ann .. YOU ARE A MAY BABY ... I hope that when you come down in June .. and I am already planning your arrival you see that right ??? We can get together and chat more .. I was so dang busy with everything .. I missed out on a lot .. Take care sweety .. and see you soon .. Nat

I wil be there in June, if it kills me....saving my pennies already!! Gotta pick up some hours at work. Yeah I am hoping to get some more weight off before being seen in a bathing suit. Yea I didn't get to chat with everyone I wanted to. BUt that could have been my fault....lol. Take care and have a good day! Keep in touch! Leigh Ann

Well Tink...as usual you look amazing! I am so proud of you putting that conference on....I wish I would have been able to be there (I live in SC...lol) I am pretty much at goal (size 6) but being on 5'3 I would like to lose another 10lbs or so...but I will wait until summer so that I don't have to buy new clothes...
