wow, you've got a lotta pics on there! thanks for them tho. i love checking out shrinking people and it's such an inspiration - both pre and post-opp!

This has nothing to do with the original post. Sorry. Kari, I think I know you from college! I don't know if you got my e-mail, but I we used to live in the same dorm at Cal State Long Beach. I'm Wendy Avant. I used to live upstairs from you. I remember that you moved to Washington and we wrote to each other a couple of times and then we lost contact. Please email me at [email protected].

man, checkin out your pics made me so pleased...im tentatively set for aug 18th, and im so excited. thanks for the motivation!

That's one of the reasons why I put so many pics on my page; when I was pre-op and getting all the usual worries about having surgery, looking at before and after pics kept me focused on the important aspects of it (health, improved quality of life, etc etc). WLS is the number one best thing I've EVER done for myself, and hopefully my experience can help others be as happy as I am.

You are doing amazing!!!! I'm 5 months PO and have lost 85 pounds.. I really wanted to hit 100 by 6 months.. but i'm not too sure about that.. I'm going to try my hardest!... Thanks for sharing your success it really does help to look at how other people are doing!

wow you look great! I love reading other peoples profiles... haha...

You are doing amazingly well! Congrats!!!

Hi Steph, You are doing great!!! I really understand what you mean about the bottom half catching up to the top half. For some reason I have been blessed with having no chest but a butt that just won't stop!!! I am almost 5 months out (had open RNY on January 10th in Mexico of 2006) and I am down 68 pounds as of this morning. I love going into old navy now and getting nice tops and I can even fit there regular pants and not the plus pants online. Now I know I have officially made it!!! Best wishes on your weightloss and great job so far!!! Ronda in Ohio

Awesome! I don't know what I'll do when I can pull on a pair of 18 jeans. Probably pee. Congratulations on your success and thanks so much!!
