Century Club and Onderland all in one doctor's visit

Dear MO Peeps, I just had to share. I had my 6th mo follow-up yesterday, and I am down 102 lbs and weigh under 200 lbs for the first time in decades. The best news is my labs were great, and I am doing great!! Now, if I can just get myself committed to regular exercise I should be even better. I hope everyone gets good news today and that we all have a FABULOUS Friday. Linda

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooohooooooooooooooooo WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!! Elizabeth~

Elizabeth, Thanks. How are things in the forest today? Linda

Elizabeth, Thanks. It was a wonderful surprise. I went shopping yesterday and got some great bargains. I bought a wonderful new suit at a huge savings, and it is a 16W. Since I was wearing 26W, I am really for joy. Linda

Congrats Linda, I am so proud of you six months and 100+ pounds. I bet you feel like a million bucks. What have you noticed as far as doing things? Last night I my hubby and I took our kids to the park and I was running everywhere, sliding down slides and playing around the whole park. This is one of the reasons I wanted the surgery, to be able to play with my kids and seeing how happy they are to have their mother do things with them. You have a great day and do something great for yourself today you should be rewarded. God bless, Penni

Penni, Isn't it wonderful? I have an 11 month old granddaughter, and I am planning on lots of playing with her. As it is, she's a lot to keep up with. The weight loss certainly makes that easier. One of the most fun things I can do is cross my legs. I do it constantly. I am becoming obssessive about it. Oh well. Linda

I am SO proud of you. You have accomplished so much in only 6 months. And you are right, if you can commit to regular exercise you will see the weight come off even better plus get the benifit of better health. Your progress is inspirational to me. God bless you and keep you. Wayne

Wayne, Thanks for all your kind words. I am so glad I had this surgery. I am still shocked that I did it. It's all so unbelievable. I hope you are having a great weekend. Is Mr. Scale being any nicer to you? Linda

Linda, I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of you. But then we know we had the best Doctors around. You have worked hard to achieve this goal and I wish the very best for you all along your journey! Marla 335/283/138

Marla, Marla you are doing very well yourself. I have to agree with you about our surgeons. A year ago, I wasn't even considering this surgery. Having Dr. Scott and Dr. De La Torre move to Columbia was a big part of what made it possible for me to even think about the surgery. It's still hard for me to believe that I actually did it. Linda
