Lisa Those stats are awesome! I am so proud of you...and am hoping for the same success for myself! I am not sure I ever realized what a life changing experience this was going to be for me. Its an increidible ride!\ Hugs, Joanie

hi lisa.thats a nice way to look at things.it makes me want the surgery even more.i cant waite for the big day to happen.take care ...tom

I am crying over here that was so supporting to me and my thoughts on this surgery I am only but more anxious to go under the knife to change my life of being trapped in this real life fat suit.I can only sit here a wait patiently til Jan 07,05 to break free from the chains of fattness only to feel half as good as you. I cannot wait to become a loser and one day share happy post as you just did thank you so much for sharing these words of inspiration with us pre ops that was well needed I don't know about any one else if I could go into surgery tomorrow I would God bless you Lisa for sharing your happiness Tai.

Lisa, Thank you for posting for pre - op people but we all post op can read and support you anyway SMILE! When I first met you last March, I was not sure if I can processing this surgery because I was too chicken on and off until you shared with me at Gathering party last March and showed me your incision That day I decided to go ahead without chicken on and off. If I won't meet you there then I won't made it through my surgery . Thank you for showing up that gathering party last March. BIG HUG FROM ME! You are definitely an inspition to me and I hope I can do to other pre -op people like you taught me. Thank you for being a great angel to me and still do ! I am so proud of you and Dr Aranow too!

Lisa -- Sneaky post-op here!! I just wanted to say your post is truly an inspiration for pre-ops and for us post-ops. You've done amazingly well. You've done so much more than lose weight. You lost emotional baggage as well. You've *gained* a much better life. What more could you ask for? I'm betting you have a hard time with bracelets too -- my wrist is at 5 1/2" -- we were never "big boned," now were we? Congrats to you!! Cheers! Kathy F.

The best way to get a Post-op to read a post is to say pre-op only I have decided! You are an amazing women, and a real inspiration to us all! Thanks for your story. I hope to be able to post mine someday with stats as good as yours! Robin R

that was exactly what I needed to kick myself in the butt to start the next part of my fight. HR couldn't help and I will be hiring an attorney to try and appeal. I will be doing that on monday. thanks for that! couldn't have come at a better time! Love, Phyllis

Lisa C, There is nothing I can add to that which has not been already said by the wonderful posters. Thank You. NA
