:-o I No Longer Qualify!
Good Morning, Fellow Mississippians !
Just got done taking my shower and weighing myself .. and I officially NO LONGER QUALIFY FOR SURGERY!!
My BMI is down to 39.8 @ 232 lbs and I've lost 102 lbs since my highest weight back in March.
I can not tell you how much this surgery has done for me, and I know how some of you guys have a hard time, either getting surgery, or are post op and have problems with recovery. I can only tell you, though, just hang in there ! I would do it again and again and again, once a year, if I had to !
I'm getting compliments these days from a lot of people, my family back home in Louisiana who sees me once a month < maybe LOL> and especially co-workers. I've recently had to turn in my wedding bands to have them sized, and lo and behold, a coworker of mine came up to me, telling me how good I'm looking and asking me out ! It was funny to me, and I gracefully declined and told him, I'm sorry but I am happily married but thanked him for making my day
So now it's up to me to make it down another 100 lbs, I am half way there at five months out.. and I'm quite sure I will make it in another year. I'm not in a hurry, but I am anxious to make it to goal
Good luck to all you all fellow "losers" and "soon to be's"....

Hey Arlies and Christine,

Any clue as to what dept that is? General Surgery? hmm.. I cant stand that hospital, I feel like I'm in a maze every time I go there but I'll find ya.

Later Gators !
