Thanks Coreena, I'm pretty proud of myself too!!  I am going to shoot for 180 for now...  My healthy range is between 160 & 180 - that's without losing my lean muscle mass (which we don't want to do!)  So once I'm at 180 I will see if that's where I want to stay or if I want to keep going to 160...  Hey, by then that will only be another 20lbs which seems so much more doable than the bigger numbers  :))

Thanks!!  :))

Me too - maybe next time!  Let us know if you plan to be over this way and maybe we can get together  :)

Fabulous

Went great! I will have my surgery anywheres between January 6th-13th. They will let me know more after Christmas is over for a definate date. Must say Dr Ellesmere seems like a great guy with a good sense of humour. He asked if i had any questions and really i told him from researching since i found out about VSG and talking to people in Nova Scotia and other places that have had it done i dont. He said so what did they say about me? I said they said you were a great man! He said ohhhhh you are good. I said what i am not sucking up good enough? lol Anyways just wanted to share that i am approved for surgery by the surgeon too, was very happy!
