Johanna, thanks for the update! It sure sounds like you are doing terrific!

I've been asked to post an update :) Well, today is my 1 yr anniversary :) I feel great! Surgery was one of the best things I have ever done in my life!! I am down to 138, and my goal was 150 :) The doctors say my ideal weight is 126, but hey, I've come a long way and if it stops today I don't care! :) I also had a hernia fixed and a tummy tuck done on Feb. 22, '02 and that went well - the tummy tuck was a breeze in comparison to 4 c-sections and WLS :) Thanks for the well wishes - love you all!!

Hey Johanna, I am glad to see that everything went well and that you are now safely on the other side. I am anxiously awaiting my turn. 22 days and counting for me, I can't wait!!!!! I hope that you are feeling better and to see you at the next support group meeting next week. Keith

Well folks I made it :) I'm home and safely on " the other side ". I felt rough for a few days, but with each day it gets a little easier :) I had a Dr. Appt today and lost 13 pounds! I'm so happy and it feels great to be home! I wish to extend a great big warm bear hug to each and everyone of you for all of your support and emails of faith and encouragement - I couldn't have traveled this far without you!!! A special big hug and thank you to Kathy Sqalli!!! You are a wonderful angel!!!
