So I just got back from seeing Dr. Tran for my follow-up. I am JUST ABOUT 4 months out and he said he is shocked with how much I lost. According to his scale, I am officially down 76 pounds. He says I don't look like I've ever had a weight problem. Dr. Tran feels I should lose ONLY 10 more pounds. That would be his goal for me. Whoa! I was hoping for 30 pounds, but he said that might be too much. 10 MORE POUNDS ... holy crap ... I am in shock!! Keep an eye out for my next post about a Medical ID Bracelet and why it is extremely important for post-ops! Tara

Wench!!!! hehehe You really are doing great. Big pats on the back. Are you getting any rest?? I hope so!!!! I don't know what your on-air schedule is anymore, so you're going to have to let me know. My dr. (the 1st surgeon, not Dr. Tran) thinks I'm pretty much done too, but I just want another 10-20 lbs. Who knows??? What I really need is skin removal & a breast reduction/lift! Let me know when the next support meeting is ... I have absolutely no ability to retain info. Congrats again, skinny girl!! XO Kathy

hahaha you crack me up Kathy!! Thank you for the pats on the back. Am I getting rest? Ahhh, no - not really. I think I slept more when I was working 70 hours a week! This week my schedule goes like this: Monday - Friday: 7pm-midnight at The Fox - Midnight-5am at Star (don't ask how I get from Norwalk to Milford in seconds) Saturday: 7-midnight at The Fox Sunday: 3-7 at The Fox My weekday Fox shift is a fill in and my Sundays there are temporary. I looked at the BMI results, and I would say I'd like to lose 20 pounds. So we can do that last 20 together. I need the lift and a TT .. Dr Tran told me to wait until sometimes next year. Thank you so much!! Hugs n Kisses! T

Congratulations on your fantastic weightg loss. Now about a number.... no number on a scale (or size of clothes) will ever make you happy. Lose to where you and your body are comfortable with each other, and live a full life. Peter
