Update on Me(in case you're interested!)

I'm 5ft.5inches tall(since the 5th grade!).My surgery weight was 262 pounds.As of today,April 13th,2005,I weigh 201 pounds.That makes a loss of 61 pounds(Yahoo!!).One of the main reasons I had this surgery was to get off my meds.I used to take 7 different kinds of medications a day.I now take one pill for diabetes.My PCP told me that I could be MED-FREE by may(YESSSSS!).I definitely would do this again(surgery),a million times over.It has given me a new chance at a "normal"life.I've never been "thin".EVER!!!!I was in a tight size 26 womens jeans on the day of surgery.I now wear a 16/18 (depending on the cut).What A Joy!!! Take Care,And Congrats to ALL YOU LOSERS!!!! Paula 262/201/150ish!
