Hey there North Carolina and esp. Gaston Co.

Are we having a meeting on the 22nd?? I said I would be there, now I need to know if everyone else said yes, also. And I wanted to brag a little bit too!! Toni Girl remember a few months ago I was complaining because JMS didn't go any smaller than 14 or 16?? (I can't remember which)( but that's cause I am getting old and feeble minded). ?? Well, I told you about Lee Riders going all way down to a 6. Well, I got some denim capris the other day and guess what size they are??? Go on guess!!!!! SIZE 10!!!!! AND THEY FIT!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?? From size 30-32 in July down to a 10 misses 9 months later. Thank you GOD for letting me have the surgery, and thank you GOD for letting me have it while medicare was paying for them. I am so BLESSED to have had this surgery. I feel so good, and I have so much energy and I am barely ever in the house anymore. I am on the go, and out working in the yard most every day!!!! And I love it!!! Thank you for letting me scream and yell and let you all know how happy I am and how good I feel and how BLESSED I am!!! Rita Haas 58 yrs old 326/182/140 LAP RNY July 27, 2005

Hi Rita...Way to Go Girl!!! I had the same wow moment this past week being able to fit in a size 10. I had to look at the size more than once to make sure I was not imagining things. Are you going to have plastics done? I switched over to Humana and now waiting for the predetermination from them. I went to a plastic's Dr. in Boone and in Hickory also, but Dr. Humphreys really gave me more information on the do's and don'ts. Keep up the good work, We are all so proud of you... Sandy

Wow! That's great! I was wondering about our meeting as well.

Blessed and Beautiful Gail
