Well Happy Surgiversary to you Erica!!! I love to hear success stories like yours. Good luck with everything and congrats on the new marraige. Wendy

I thought you would enjoy seeing them once again in my pictures! I'm feeling good, no more mystery pain...we'll just wait and see if that comes back. Meanwhile, I have an appointment with one PS on Friday and another next Tuesday. They are the two most popular here in Huntsville. I'll make a decision after the consults, and then we'll get the TT and hysterectomy scheduled. I'm hoping it can happen in the next few weeks...I expect to be out of work for 4-6 weeks and I have a cruise scheduled to celebrate our 25th anniversary in September so I want to be all healed by then!

THANK YOU SWEETIE! It is comforting to know I am not the only one out there with these food "issues". But to be honest I am soooo sick of it! So hopefully this last stint of fudging up ROYALLY will be the last for a long time! Thanks for your support! BTW, I know i have told you this, but YOU LOOK AMAZING keep up the good work! Ilyssa

Hello and congrats to all my Junebug buddies out there! Happy anniversary to all of you! Today is my 1 year out point and based on my appt last week all is good- I have gone down from 289 to 176 and counting- size 22 to size 10/12 (holy crap!!) and we all know the ailments that have begun to no longer plague us. I myself have psuedotumor cerebri which is excess spinal fluid around the brain- I have been through 2 eye surgeries to hel p fix the problem and had no real relief. That was until I met the team at St. Raphael's in New Haven. They are my angels and Dr. Nadzam is top notch! I have not had any issues since 3 months post op and the outlook is good. I was facing losing my sight completely and never being able to handle pregnancy. As of the 12th of June- its a go ahead on everything! I am so excited! The past year has been the easiest thing physically, the hardest mentally and everything in between. I married my soulmate who loved me no matter what I looked like, but loves the new me! He figured he traded up to the better model after marriage instead of what usually happens to women after marriage. I had the wedding of my dreams and couldn't be happier. i even was able to wear a two piece bathing suit on my honeymoon! (HUGE Wow moment as you who have been there know!) I am so excited for all of you who through your hard work and perseverence are making you own dreams come true everyday. Good luck for continued success to all! Best Wishes Erica

Hey Ilyssa! Congrats on your anniversary!!! You have done a wonderful job. You are so wise to be working on your negative behaviors before they get hold of you again!! I had my husband take my one year pics last evening, and of course, my fur babies are in them!!! They are so funny! Gracey especially wants to be around when we are doing anything, so she is in most of them! Have a great day! Cindy
