down total 15 # I know that's not great but stopping smoking and dieting at the same time is really the pits......... information turned into insurance waiting on a reply from them now

Stephanie, 15 lbs is GREAT!!! It's AWESOME!!! It's Inspiring!!! It's an achievement!!! It's !!! Why?? Because YOU DID IT!!! Congratulations!!! Your updated info will be on the New List, which I will be posting on Sunday the 4th of June. Tonya

15 #s + QUITTING SMOKING IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, MS STEPHANIE. YOU'RE FLYING!!!!!!!! DO YOU REALIZE THAT 15 #s = 52,500 CALORIES YOU'VE USED UP ... YUP, 3.500 CALORIES PER POUND SO JUST THINK HOW MUCH EFFORT THAT TOOK!!!!! KEEP IT UP ... YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY!!!!!

Hey Tonya!! You can put me down for 44 pounds lost forever!!!!! Thanks for keeping up with all this. We love ya for it!! Melissa

Okay, I am wondering if I should now get my plastics here, or wait until I go to CA?? Maybe I can now get one of the 90210 docs to do it, I hear its much cheaper in LA to have it done, but I kinda doubt it. I am now down for a total loss of 116lbs!!!!!!!!!!! but lately its been up and down a couple of pounds because of water, and drinking non stop for kidney stuff, but I am still saying I am 173lbs!! THanks!!! You are awesome doing all of this!!! Love ya Deb

Oh my Deb, That will be one of the good things about your move, you will be at the capitol of plastic surgery. I'm sure that it is cheaper and there will be so many more options. I think that you should go to one of the surgeons who books you into an exclusive spa for recovery. I've been thinking about you lots, Hope the pain gets better and I am sure that you will lose those 3 pounds + when you get through this. Lots of love, Mary

WOW!! Congratulations on your weight loss. I envy you going to California. I'd give my left arm to move back there. I lived in the OC. wonderful weather. NO excess humidity to speak of. My only problem with CA is I still have 2 brothers and their families out there!! LOL If I moved back, my Mom would probably move back too from Michigan. Good Luck with your move. Candy

I ALSO HEARD PLASTICS WERE CHEAPER IN CA (I DOUBT THE 90210 DOCS ARE CHEAP BY ANY MEANS , MS DEB!). IN YOUR CASE, I WOULDN'T GET PLASTICS UNTIL I HAD A BETTER GRASP OF WHAT YOUR KIDNEY ISSUES REALLY ARE & HAVE THE CONDITION UNDER CONTROL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF ANOTHER SURGERY/ANESTHETIC COULD BE CAUSE FOR COMPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF YOUR KIDNEY CONDITIONS & BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS IN A STRESSED CONDITION TRYING TO HANDLE THIS FOR SO LONG. TAKE CARE OF THIS FIRST, FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY! PLASTICS CAN WAIT. BUT, IF I WERE MOVING TO CA, I THINK I'D WAIT TILL I WAS FINISHED WITH THAT MAJOR OF A MOVE BEFORE I WENT THROUGH MORE SURGERY & PUT MY BODY UNDER MORE STRESS. MOVING IS STRESSFUL ENOUGH BUT YOU'D BE DOING IT WHILE HANDLING KIDNEY PROBLEMS & TRYING TO RECOUP FROM THAT ... SO, WAIT TILL YOU ARE FEELING BETTER & SETTLED IN YOUR NEW HOME & JOB. JUST MY THOUGHTS ...

Hi. I'm new to the SC board. My name is Candy S and I won't have my surgery until Aug or Sept (Insurance requirement) : - 0. Columbia SC. Dr. Tribble I think that is so great that so much weight has been lost here in SC. I think I can already feel the earth tilting on it's axis. LOL Can you add me to your list or do I have to wait until I am post op? Thanks Candy
