HI Janey, Congrats to you as well!!! Isn't it weird buying such a small size? I still feel strange going on the "other side" of a store! I am right there with ya! Casey

Wondering if anyone is experiencing severe pain in their upper abdomen under rib cage through to spine after eating. It is unbearable. Had 7 Motrin today and lived off of Gas X and Nexium as well as Tums. According to my research, it looks like gallstones. I'm 11 months out tomorrow - lost 153 pounds, size 10. Just wish this pain would go away Anyone else experiencing this? Gonna talk to the doc Tuesday.

;') hi my name is sharon i about 10 months out and i know how you feel if you would like to talk you can email me at [email protected]

Well, let's see! Last year at this time, I was running myself crazy trying to get all those tests done to proceed with my surgery. Now here I am today 38 weeks post op, down 135 lbs and looking 100% better than before. My self esteem is back to the point I am back selling lingerie again. (Sold Lingerie 12 yrs ago). Went over to a friend's house last week and their son did not even know who I was. He thought my husband was running around on me. ;) I think it is great! The next test is this weekend. We are having an annual event at the church where many people have not seen me since last year this time, guess you can call this my coming out party? I know people are going to walk right past that know me. I can't wait! Check out my new website and drop me a note: www.touchedbymagic.com God Bless you all! Michelle
