hello everyone- beautiful day!!!

I haven't been here in a while, so here I am again, good luck and wishes to everyone who has just had surgery, you're going to love you're new life, and to the ones that are fixing to have surgery, don't be to scared , God is with you , through it all, I went to see Dr. Burrowes last week, he said he wants me to loose only fourty more lbs, that will put me at one thirty, I am five foot two, and shrinking, so is that going to be small enough, still can't see the me everyone else is seeing, but the pictures of me sure are different, I guess a hundred and fourty six lbs is alot since Dec. I feel wonderful, what a life, I didn't know it could be so wonderful, and easy to clean the house when you can lean down, I have bony hands now, and the hump on the back of my neck is gone, I have shoulders, and hip bones, altho it hurts to sit in the tub, I have YES!!!! hinny bones, sometime all my bones hurt, Dr, Burrowes says it is just the gravity pulling down on me, I am glad the metal taste is now gone, food taste normal to me now, i don't eat very much of that, but I didn't have this surgery to see how much I could stuff in my face, ,I am a happy happy , woman, I hope you're day is beautiful too!!!susan

130??? Is that realistic? My surgeon initially suggested about 130 for me and I am 5'6". But, after the year was up he raised it to 160ish. I don't know if I will ever make that. I am 2 years our and am 183-188. I weighed 165 or so when I graduated from HS in 77' ( you figure the years out LOL).

Hello Susan, Tina here, my god I am so jealous. I can't even imagine being a 146lbs. lighter. That is my prayer. You have done fabulous with your weight. You lost a whole other person and then some. I am trying to get this surgery done but so many loops to jump threw, it's so exhausting. Anyway, welcome back and you should be so proud of youself. Keep up the good work.~Tina~
