Damn I can't get the link to work either...not sure what the problem is. Congrats, I am a size 4 too it feels pretty great huh?!

Dear Jacqueline, I have been checking everyday to hear from you! I am so thankful everything went so well. You young girls are so lucky - heal so fast!! I am seriously thinking of the tummy tuck, well lower body lift, but as much as the boobs need it, I won't do them. I would like a neck tuck!! I may go see the plastic surgeon in February or March. Oh, I do have a question. It's probably too soon to answer this, but I woud be curious as to if you lost any weight, or how much fat they removed? Do you know? take care of yourself honey, and check in when you can, but don't make a trip to work to do it!! love donna

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, but thanks for giving all of us a wake-up call! Pam

Hi everyone, I just wanted to tell you that although I don't post on here much, I still read and think of you all alot. I am driven mainly by guilt, I guess. I read how great everyone else is doing, adhering to the rules of the pouch, losing a ton of weight, etc. and I am just terrible at it, so I feel I have nothing to contribute. I have lost 110# now total but it's been extremely slow thanks to my behavior, but I still feel great and have gotten a fresh wind since the 1st of January and am remotivated. Anyhow, I wanted to share something with you guys. I've shared before that my sister had this same procedure in 2000. Well, she has always been TERRIBLE at taking her supplements. Now, almost 7 years later, she is suffering the consequences. I've been nagging her but with no luck. She has neuropathy with excruciating pain in her hips and legs and takes pain meds on a regular basis. She found out yesterday that she is so anemic that they wanted to admit her into the hospital for I.V. fluids, but she refused, opting to take iron for 2 weeks so she doesn't have to leave her 2 yr. old. Doctor doesn't think it'll do any good. Her blood pressure is high, her nerves are shot and so on. More blood work coming in in a few days. I hate this. I've read soooo much about the importance of our supplements. Simple things like the B-12, you put under your tongue for pete's sake! If your body lacks this too long, you will suffer from anemia, nervous system damage, blurred vision, poor memory and more. I KNOW I'm not perfect in the eatting department, but I know that not taking my supplements daily can ruin my health permanently! Please...don't forget these! They're important. Hugs to all, Kelly

Glad to hear you are doing so well I go in for the hernia repair on Feb. 5 and hope things go as well as you..I only wish I had my boobs taken care of also. they are my main back pain problem... Thanks for the update. Sandy
