Hi all! Just had to stop by and share my wonderful news. I have officially lost 72 lbs since November 26th 2002. I now weigh 233lbs. All I can say is Thank you God! Without this surgery I don't believe I could have ever have lost this much on my own. So far I feel alot better and have much more energy than before. I was having alot of trouble with eating and then vomiting before, but with medicine that seems to be clearing up nicely. I can get very sick still but it is nothing like before. And as long as I keep losing weight I am not too worried about it right now. Lose skin is going to be a big problem I am afraid, my arms look terrible, same as my thighs. And I am not going to get started about my breasts and tummy, they are a BIG upset to me. God willing I will be able to have some work done on them later after I (God willing) reach my goal weight. And that is only going to happen if I can get it covered by insurance. Anyway I will update more later. God bless you all on your journeys to a better you.

I am so sorry that it has taken me this long to update my profile, but I have no ready internet access right now. I will hopefully do better in the future. Ok here it is so far, I now weigh 253 lbs, is'nt that great that is a total loss of 52 lbs so far just since Thanksgiving day. Tommorrow I am having a scope of my stomach with a dialation of the opening, due to my vomiting almost every time I try to eat. God willing that will help. I hope everyone is doing well on their journeys. God bless you all

I am home. Surgery went great(very painful) - with no extra problems so far. Dr Nease was able to do my surgery by LAP Thank God! It took about 5 hours including the gallbladder removal. I am on Phase 1 of the diet plan (clear liquids) tghat is all I have had since the second day. Thristy is all I am I don't want anything esle either. I do have 2 drains - jackson prax and gastric drain. One jackson prax drain got removed at the hoapital. I don't have any staples that I can tell. I will update more later when I feel better. God bless you all.

Dear AMOS family I have only a wakeup to go till my surgery. Thank you so much for wishing me well. I am scared about the surgery, but I know that God is with me, so I am sure that He will take care of me. I have had an interesting weekend so far three of my children have gotten sick with some stomach virus and my youngest has caught chicken pox. Luckly for me I have not had any problems with this virus and I have already had the chicken pox when I was a child. God willing I will have a quick and uneventful recovery. I will update when I can. Thank you all for your help. God bless
