hi there!

hi to all you south puget sounders!


i am jeris - i had my VSG on 9/22/09, and as you can see from my ticker, it's working quite well!

i have been a pudger since i was about 8 years old.... i fell into the diet mode at 17 and fighting that dragon got me to 354 lbs...  i finally decided to call in the 'nuclear strike' and take care of this once and for all....  my preliminary goal weight is 160, but i'm leaning toward 150, since i seem to have shrunk a bit in height...  we'll see how i feel when i get there....

after a couple decades as a 911 dispatcher, i am currently a full-time college student at tacoma community college, finally getting my degree 36 years after high school...  i will be graduating in 2011 as a newly-minted paralegal, and wls is all part of the plan so i can rock that power suit when i go looking for a job!!! 

looking forward to meeting y'all.....  maybe we can arrange some local meet-ups, just to get to know each other!
