Hi Karen, my surgery was 10/31/02 and I am down 81 pounds today. It could have been more and maybe should have been, but I am so happy with each new day. I am living again and loving it. This surgery has been one of the best things I have done for myself also. Vicki

I can't believe I just posted under surgery October 2003! Oh well, I'm doing well overall and am pleased to be lossing weight. Having trouble being consistant with my exercise program. I keep working on those abdominal muscles, I know it is hard on them to keep up with the loss of mass under them. I'm also hopeful that upcoming tests on my back will give me some anwers and guidance on where to go from here. To your health!
