Update

Well I have been out of the loop for a long time.  Just wnated to give an update to everyone on how I was doing.  I am at 118 lbs and have been here since 5 months out.  I am now 13 months out and have maintained for 8 months.

Tomorrow I will be going to Portsmouth Naval to have my tummy tuck done.  Not for the consult but for the actual procedure.  I can not believe how fast things have gone for me since my surgery last year.  I was not nervous to have gastric at all but am a little nervous about tomorrow.  I am thinking maybe because my mom wont be around to help me out afterwards.  My husband will be here unlike for my gastric but seriously will he be any help???  I dont think so.  It is going to be tough having put our house on the market for an upcoming transfer and trying to keep it clean and ready to be shown at anytime with two young ones but it will all work out.

Please keep me in your prayers tomorrow that everything goes smoothly and that my house sells soon.

Thank you all,'
