One Year Update!!

I can not believe that one year ago, I was going in to surgery to change my life forever!! I am down 154lbs (a total of 184lbs) and life can't be better!! Went to the doctor last week for my checkup and everything looks great! I go for blood work in a few weeks. Good news is I do not have to go back to the doctor until May!! Instead of every month now, its every 3 months. I want to lose another 47lbs to reach my personal goal. I think if I really put my mind to it I should be able to do it before the summer! Id like to have to buy new bathing suits because the ones I wore in Aruba in October are too BIG!!! I need to Thank God, my surgeon, my family and especially my wonderful husband for sticking by me through all the testing, surgery and my recovery!!! Lisa 371/341/187/140

Lisa, Congrats hun, you have done awesome and I am so happy you are doing great. ~Hugs~ Please tell Harry we said hello..... Debra P

Thanks so much Debra!!! Hope all is well with you guys! Tell Kelly we said hello! How is the house stuff going?? {{{HUGS}}} Lisa

Lisa, Yes we are just waiting to hear from the bank, we have the signed contracts now so it is just the bank to be final and for the lawyer to get the close date... The appraisal (sp?) was yesterday and it takes about 2 weeks for them to write that up and give it to the bank. I guess we will get the loan approval before then but dang it is driving us crazy..... I bet it will be like mid March for the close date, which we need to be out of our rental by April 1st....and we have much that needs to be done on the home before we move our stuff in like the hardwood floors and painting.... Well it will work out as it should so I just need to de-stress myself... Thanks for asking hun ~Hugs~ Debra P
