FOUR MONTHS AND 92 LBS GONE FOREVER!!!!

I haven't posted much on here but have read for months and learned a lot from you guys. I lurked for years before deciding to go ahead with the surgery. I can now say that it has been worth every minute!!! My surgery was Feb. 16th and I have lost a total of 92 pounds since surgery and I lost another 10 before surgery during my pre op. So 102 pounds gone. I can't believe it. Most days I think the scale is lying or my hubby is lieing when he says how good I look. It's all alot of "head" stuff isn't it? My kids have a new mother, the energy level is amazing and my whole life has changed. For anyone thinking of doing it, just go for it! I was scared to death and put it off for two years. I finally had to let my decision rest in someone else's hands. Dr. Strickland was a Godsend and it couldn't have gone smoother. I've gone from a 26/28 to an 18 in four months! Can't wait to see what the next four bring! Thanks for all your good advice and kind words, even though I never posted, it made a difference! Carmen

Congratulations on your amazing loss! That is great. I hope to join you on the losing side soon. I see that you are from Chapin. I grew up in Prosperity!! Howdy Neighbor!!
