Thank you , Juicy . I apprecitae that so much . Everyone has been so kind . In the outside world , not everyone is happy for you when you lose weight . Kathy

Congrats! Woo-hoo!!!

Wow, yippee for you.  Must be great to set a goal of having a goal to reach your goal.  Thats a lot.  Congrats to ya.  EW 

Thanks Eric . lol . How are you doing ?  I got the new issue of OH , today . They had a 2 page ad for your doctor & the hospital , where you probably had your surgery . How are you doing ? Are you adjusting to your new life ? You have such a good sense of humor & attitude , I bet you're doing great . Kathy

Thanks Annie . You'll be there , soon . Kathy

Great job Kathy!

Thanks Vicki . I appreciate it . You have done fantastic , too . You're like the poster child for what Lap Band success looks like . Kathy

You're making me blush!

Seriously, I really believe that all of the surgeries can be successful if you learn about the surgery and how to work with your particular surgery.   I think that is the main difference between great success, so-so success and no success. 

It's obvious you have figured out how to work with your surgery - as evidenced by the fact that you are still losig after the "magical 18-month RNY window." 

Woohoo!!    That's great, Kathy!!  I know you were kind of despairing of ever getting to goal and hoped you would with the TT - and here you are at goal before then!!  I'm so happy for you and proud of you...  It's especially nice to know that people do keep losing after that supposed "honeymoon" period.  You have been an inspiration to me...  I'm living vicariously through you for the TT, too!!  Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to get that done, too.  Take care and we'll see you on the 27th!!  Once again, congrats on the big goal being met!!!

Thanks Nancy . I know of other people who have lost some after the so called window , too . Granted I have only lost 7 pounds in the last year , but I was close to my goal . I know others who have continued to lose decent amounts after a year . Amy Williams , for instance . I'm looking forward to the 27th . You're so teeny , there won't be much left of you before long . lol . Maybe you can have plastics the route i'm having them done . The only bad thing is the distance to/from the hospital . It's hard for me to imposition someone .
