Introductions???? and Weigh Off

I'm 31years old & have been married to my husband for 6 years today!!! I have a 9 year old daughter & 12 year old son!!! I work in Mortgage Lending at MidFirst BAnk & am a student at UCO....I thrive on the chaos that is my life ... I had surgery with Dr. Pearce on 10/08/02 starting out at 293 & this week weighed in at 143!Making my total loss 150 pounds!!!! My only regret would be that I didn't pursue this sooner so that my mom could have seen me become the person I am. Becky

Nice to see you here Becky. I was at the seminar on the 27th and got to listen to the docs. I had actually had my appt with Floyd earlier that day. It was nice to hear some people in person that had actually been through the surgery. Bye for now, Teresa

That was my first seminar to be at as a post op....I have really began to come out of my shell lately--Actually going to support group meetings, posting, etc....For someone who had EXTREME shyness, this is a whole new world for me. Becky

Becky, when is the next support meeting? What time and where? I can't find my book right now because I am totally rearranging my house. I think I'm having a "nesting" thing pre-surgery. I did the same thing right before I had each of our children Teresa

THere is a support group meeting Saturday Morning 08/14 at Physicians Hospital in South OKC: Location: PHO Hospital Cafeteria 3100 SW 89th in OKC Street: 3100 SW 89th City/State/Zip: Oklahoma City, OK 73159 Phone: 602-8100 Please join us for live support meeting, discussion, fellowships, shared triumphs, questions and more!

I'm 36, 5'10", weighed in today at 303 (Dr. Floyd's scale at 1 pm) and 316 (Dr. Cole's scale a 3 pm). The last size I bought was a 24/26, however unless they have elastic they don't fit anymore. Shirts are anywhere from a 3x to a 4x to go over the 42J bust (this was what it came out at a year ago not sure what it is now - i refuse to shop). I'm a student at OU and my son starts UCO in a few weeks. My daughter will be a senior this year. My surgery is scheduled for 8/12 with Dr. Floyd.
