Where are the Milwaukee girls n boys?!

Shari when you got to the 133 how did you stop losing, I'm down to a size 14 from a 22, five months out, I want to get to 150 or size 12 and then stop.

Hi Carmen,
   150 was my goal to but it kept coming off. Not in a bad way I guess it's my body saying you still have fat to lose. Then one day it just stopped. Hit a magic healthy number and there I stayed.
I fluctuate between 130-133 but this weekend i actually weighed in at 129. i was shocked. Not sure whey I started to lose a little again. I have been working out alot so that may have something to do with it.

Your body will decide for you. If you have more to lose it will until you hit the point where you should be. My goal was to weigh a healthy 140-150 and wear a comfortable sz. 10-12 i also wore a 22/24 prior to surgey.
I had no idea I'd ever be wearing a sz. 6 jeans ( Cute jeans on a 45 year old I might add )  
Don't worry your body will say when enough is enough. Sounds like you're right on track. Keep it up and congratulations!!!!

I had my gastric bypass 08/04/2008 at Colombia's Dr. Regan did my surgery. My primary Dr had been wanting me to have this done over five years ago, if I know then what I know now I would have done this a long time ago.  I don't know Dr. Chua but know some others that have had the band or the bypass done by him and they love him.  I know that they are working on a study where they will implant a balloon in the stomach.  Good luck you will do fine.

Thanks for all the support!

well as of two days ago i got my approval letter and a surgery date of april 8th and i can't wrap my head around the fact that it is actually going to happen

I had lapband surgery on 1/27 and Dr. Chua was my surgeon.  He is the best and his staff is the greatest.  I've had several of the nutritionists at Sinai and they are all very good, I love Kimberly, she makes it fun and is very real with you. 
Best of luck to you!!
