Lisa you are such an inspiration to us all.  When I struggle with ten or 15 pounds I have to come back to you and everything you have been through to this point.  You definately have kept me from whinning on some days.  We are all very pround of your progress and thank you for sharing your journey so honestly with us so that we are able to learn from you.

Love and huggs

    That is FANTASTIC!  I hope this doesn't offend you but that is what my husband weighs!  You've lost one whole husband! -Yet another benefit of RNY!!!!!!  I have a friend that I'd say is about 600lbs and I am hoping he can get the surgery.  I know that he will LOVE hearing about your success.  Some days I think he just feels like he has gotten too big to even have this work.  And you have done it all with such a GREAT attitude.  I can imagine that having that skin taken off was really a blessing.  As my breasts get longer I wonder if I am going to have to start buying pants with cups in the knees.  I can't wait to get everything put back in a relatively nice place.
Reading this post gives us all HOPE!
