Updates...

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't participated before this, but my computer was acting up. To update you all, I had my surgery on June 3rd and have had no complications at all!!! NONE!! I'm so blessed to have had wonderful surgeons, Dr's Stephanie and Jim Barnes. So far I've lost 33 pounds, and I can't wait to lose more. My husband is deployed right now, he left when I was still in the hospital. I can't wait until he sees me in Sept, me might not recognize me . Of course I'm not sending him any pictures, just letting him know my progress. I love this site and I get so much inspiration reading all about you. When I went to my first consult with the Barnes, I met Kim Gregory and she is an angel ! I look at her pictures and I Know I can do it too. Thank you Kim for sharing yourself with all of us here. Has anyone subscribed to the magazine on this site? I'm thinking of doing that but wanted some opinions. Thank you and God bless you all with much success!! Love, Vonni
