Hi Everyone! Today was a bittersweet day. I had my 5 month checkup and I am officially down 94 pounds from surgery and 104 from pre-op. I am having my labs done on Monday and can't wait for the results! Dr.is very pleased and said I am doing fantastic! so all is well there! The sad news is that my surgeon Dr.Gruniero is leaving next week I have decided to go to the other Geisinger clinic in Danville to the surgeon Dr.Petrick there for my follow ups,he was my first choice at the begining of the whole process but changed to the clinic in Wilkes Barre because it was a closer drive. I am so sad I loved Dr.Gruniero he is such a sweetheart and such on outstanding Dr. I am just thrilled that I was able to have him as my surgeon,but I know I will love Dr.Petrick as well,just need to get to know him. anyway...... after we left the clinic I stopped my Marshalls to get a new pair of jeans (my treat to myself for a change!) I walked out with a pair of Tommy Hilfiger SIZE 16!!Normal denim jeans NOT stretch denim!!!and they fit perfect without the mushroom effect!! whooo hooooo!!!!!!!! and the best part...get this....I only paid $11.00 for them!!! can't beat that huh??? I will be updating my profile with new pictures over the weekend! ((hugs)) Nanc 296-150-192

1094. Half a ton! Not shabby. But we can do better. Who else is out there?

Ok, I'll play. Surgery on June 28 - Loss of 71. That makes our total 1017!!!!! If I can add right. WOOHOO!

Hi Glenda, I started at 260 and would like to get around 150-160. I am 5'5" so I really don't want to go below 150. It's weird, I thought I would be more excited to get below 200 but I'm not jumping up and down. Maybe my next mini goal of weighing less than my husband (175) will make me excited. I joined the YMCA again last night so I'm pretty excited to get back to working out. Congrats on your weight loss so far and keep up the good work. Karen
