hi, Wow look at all us shorties ! LOL :- 0 Thank God for this surgery and that all of us short people can get help . I know personally that i was a little scared i might not be covered by Insurance because of my size . I had alot of people tell me ..... oh come on your not that fat ... hmmmmmmmm now people say wow you sure look good ! I say to myself what the heck did they really say before . Oh well I feel great , I look forward to losing hopefully down to 130 lbs or less by nov. 22 my first year anniversary. Im kinda sitting at 153 now , but I know it will drop again soon . I just measured myself again for my 8 month . I can't believe I have lost over my whole body 26 inches . I hope to add new pics soon , the one that is on my replys is an old one too .
