Update
Hi everyone I am very excited to say that I went to my doc yesterday and I am down 43lbs in 2 months I'm so excited. They said that I was doing great. They gave me a prescription for iron becasue I feel tired a lot of the time so I'll take a higher dose of that and hopefully I'll have more energy but otherwise I feel so great. Thanks for all of your great responses you all have been so supportive. One thing I'm really happy about is that my Dad was totally against this surgery he thought that I was making a big mistake now that he sees I'm healthy and happy and losing weight he is really proud of me and that means a lot to me. I'll keep you all posted.

Hi there Liz, Congradulations to you on your weight loss******* You think you can cross your legs wait until you can throw them over your head Everyday you will see all things that you could not do that you can do. I did not even notice I could cross my legs until my sister looked down at me and said 'LOOK LORRAINE YOUR LEGS ARE CROSSED" Things that normal sized people do every day will be so wonderful when we can do them.
Enjoy life and welcome to the other side.....Lorraine
