greetings loris! good to see you.

for those who don't know me, i'm deb -- 52 years old now, 4 1/2 years out from surgery. my starting bmi was 66, current bmi is 23. i haven't had any problems with regaining, but i'm pretty diligent about what i consume. i walk alot - for the past year i've walked one of my dogs all around the city where i live -- and the dog has lost 16 lbs too!

all has gone well for me. i feel GREAT. i've had a couple rounds of plastic surgery -- want to have another round, but am currently out of money for plastics -- someday!

i've never been married, no kids, but i have lots of pets. currently 2 dogs (beagle and american eskimo) and 5 indoor cats.

I started out with a bmi over 70 lbs.  I got a call from my surgeons's office saying that I have to be down to 370 lbs before a surgery date is set.

Don't give up, Ruth.  It's hard, but doable and we know you can do it.  Hugs, Loris

Hi, I am new here. :)

I am Kelly, 28 years old (29 in less than 2 weeks) and my current BMI is about 63.  My insurance has a 6 mo supervised diet requirement, which I started in March.  I hope to have my surgery in September, or October at the latest.  I live just outside of Baltimore and my surgeon works out of Hopkins.

I just got married this past October to a wonderful man.  We hope to start trying to get pregnant in about 2 years, once I have gotten down to a stable and healthy weight.  I am looking forward to being able to be more active with him, doing stuff like going to museums (which is hard now because I can't be on my feet for long) and traveling (which is a prob because my rear end does not fit in a plane seat).

Hi Kelly, I'm Kelly also!  And funny thing is, my birthday is right around the corner on the 20th.  Of course, I am a LITTLE older than you are... LOL

You sure are in some exciting times in your life.  It is so nice you can do all this while you are so young.  Good luck, Loris

I'm Jan and on July 17th I'll be 3 years out. My beginning BMI was 64 and it's now 30.4.

I'm 48 years old and this past year has been super rough. My Mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer last September and passed away May 30th. I miss her so much.

I am so sorry about your mother.  I lost my mom in March.  It's so hard.  Hugs, Loris
