Can we do a good Old Fashioned ROLL CALL?!

Melissa, 24, Oak Park, Illinois Pre-Op Hoping 6'0" 397/250 Yes, that's right. I want to weigh 250lbs. I was quite comfortable at that weight! (I wouldn't mind being less but 250 is good with me.) Who else is out there???

Amanda, 21, Westmont IL. Pre-Op 5'7" 270/150 But I will be happy to get below 200!

ok lets see 285/175 or just the ability to see my feet and vagina again... Debby

OMG Debby!!I would say im shocked that you said that ,but i kinda aint..I have to agree with ya tho id like to be able to cut the old hairs down there too .How is everyone doin out there???As most of ya know tomorrows BINGO wish me luck!!.I hope everyone had a good day ..

Pre-op 5'4" 356/160 I just want to walk again. I don't want steps to be a problem. I want to play volleyball with my friends and I want to keep up with my kids.

Estela, 30-something, Summit IL Post-op 5' 235/125 Just keep wondering what I'll look like I've never been small. But major goal is to get off of my insulin injections. And I want my kids to have a hot mom. Cause I'm already pretty cool. LOL

Donna post-op (4/15/04) 5' 8" starting weight 298 weight today 254 goal 140! My oldest son (14 yrs old) told me not to get too skinny, because if his friends thought I was hot that would "gross me out!" Kids! Aren't they great! Donna

Tiffany, 34, Mahomet, Illinois Surgery scheduled for 8/10/04 5'9" 283/160 I just want to get rid of this shame that came on me when the weight did. I used to be so outgoing when I was thinner. Then I got heavy and decided I wasn't good enough to be around the "normal" people, and went into my own little shell. Hopefully, losing the weight will help bring the real me back out. Holy Cow, did someone say Vagina????

Yep that would be Debby..OO well i agreed on what she said tho.Im doing this cause of health reasons too,and cause i wanna be a hot mama too

Lora 27 Marion, Illinois 5'6" waiting on phone call for consult(im soo not a patient person) 400/150(i'd settle for 200.I'm not picky) I just want to be able to do things with the boys without getting tired so quickly. Plus for health reasons. Co Morbidities are: high b/p, type 2 diabetes,depression/anxiety,morbid obesity.
