100 pounds gone forever!

Vicki, This is a decision you will never regret! I know if I had not had this surgery 7.5 months ago, I will still weigh 270. If not more! I would still have diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure, plus a host of others! This is the best Christmas gift you will ever give yourself! Only about 6 more weeks for you! How exciting! Keep us posted! I know you will do great. Next Christmas you will look forward to getting all those new skinny clothes! Genie

That is sooooooooo awesome. I am so proud of you. Enjoy!

Thanks Cheri! I just love YOUR numbers! You past up your goal in the dust! That is awesome! Thanks so much fo rall your support! Genie

Congrats. I am new here and just finished reading your profile. I was actually wondering about your daughter and how she is doing. On your last post you said she was having surgery for her cancer.

OOPS! I am such a bad girl! I can't believe I haven't updated my profile. I posted but forget about newbies reading and wondering what happened. So, here it is................... She came through her surgery just fine. She had to have the total thyroid removed, not just one side. The tumor had grown and was to large, but on the good side, it did not spread to her lymph nodes or breast or anywhere else. She has been having to wait for her TH levels to bottom out before she could start radiation. And without a thyroid it has been very exhausting for her. She just went back to her cancer Dr. and her levels are now low enough for radiation. She will have a radiation treatment on November 8. Hopefully it will just take the one time. God has shown us His love and mercy in many powerful and stirring ways. He has provided for all their needs. Our God is such an awesome God! We appreciate the prayers and support we got from everyone here and we surely felt the prayers. Thank you for asking about her. I will go and update my profile tonight! Thank you for reminding me that I need to make time for that. Reading profiles and those before and after pics are what got me through when I was pre-op! Take care and keep us posted on your journey as well! Genie

Congrats Genie! That is awesome! You're an inspiration to all of us baby banders I'm almost 6 weeks post op and feeling great now that I've had my first fill. It's a long and winding road, and I'm enjoying the journey! Best to you, Ally Dr. Rumbaut 10.15.05 305/262/150ish or until I am the best I can be!

Ally, That is so great! Each day gets better and better! This surgery has truly been a blessing and gift from God! Keep me posted on your progress! GEnie
