hi patti; so glad you mad...

hi patti; so glad you made it through! now the fun begins! by fun i mean watching the pounds and the dress sizes count down; i hope you are feeling in rare form; as i look back i had the surgery on jan 31 was out of the hospital that following monday and was sitting up in church on the following sunday, just so glad to be here! i weighed in at 317 and now i am down to 253 and many dress sizes down! but i still have a long ways to go; i want you to stay encouraged because there are definitely better days ahead!
