Hello there, finally I got to update my profile! So much has happened since I last updated..?? BIG news, OH is coming to NE the 26th of August. I will go a day early to help set things up. This time my dh is going and I'm gonna put him to work also, haha. Also August I am going on live TV here to talk about OH coming. And the 17th I am going to see another plastic surgeon and pray that Insurance covers it again being how my first one was done so poorly!!! My body is ugly!! It's become a mental issue, big time!! So I hope you all pray for me..will update after the conferance. Beth

My mother was right! The older you get the faster the years fly by! I would love to go back 30 years and have the surgery! I felt like I had 20 years taken away from me..and after surgery, I feel like I have been given at least 20 back..well, enough of this. I was lucky enough to get to go to the Dec. 2005 convention..I love them! Two years in a roe and looking forward to next year.If you ever get a chance to go please do so..it's just wonderful. guess i'll close for now..hugs, BETH

Hi again....well here it is sept and the Omaha walk is off for this kid. The gas prices are to high and Im saving my change for the convention. I plan to fly out on 11/30 to Fresno and drive down with my best friend Darlene! I roomed with her and 3 other Ca. gals last year and we had such a good time! I can hardly wait till Dec. I hope alot of you make it as they are so imspirational and educational! Hope to see all of you there. hugs from Nebraska

Well, here it is months have passed and I'm still alive!! And in better health, body and sole than I have ever been, and that's just an under statement! Still having the "marriage problems" but dont think that will ever change..I was lucky enough to go to the Denver Conference in July and that was very interesting to see, there was about 8 people from Ne. I was on a panel and was so surprised I wasn't even nervous to talk in front of about 200! "I've come along was baby!!" Going to Omaha in Sept for the walk amd pray I get to go to convention in Dec. I keep very busy with OH and my new Red Hat Society which is a "Hoot".
Well hugs to all my WLS family out there and please email me...Beth in Nebraska

Lets just say I had a 3 week vacation. I had a "hormone" malfunction. Guess I didnt realize it could happen at my age. But when you lose alot of weight what do our hormones do?? without all the fat hiding them.Can't think of much else to think. I have had a years of a questionable marriage problems encluding my DH had 4 affairs and the last one with his brothers wife.(nothing within the last 15 years) but guess if maybe I had had the confidance and selfefesteem I have now maybe I would have divorce years ago. He drove 23 hours non-stop to get me, guess he really loves me. We are going to counseling together, Sunday is date day, we go to the Club and get naked and sweat alone(haha) 4-5 evenings a week, for our health!! we've been taking mini road trips, and I started going to a stronger church. He will go when he isnt working....so guess after 42 years things can get better if we try. If I can help anyone with such problems PLEASE get in touch with me.Hugs, Beth Future update

Just to let everyone know have relocated to Orosi,Ca.will tell more at a later time. Going to take sometime to get my life together..Hugs,Beth

What an emontional 3 days...closeness just radiated in the room each time we were all together...being with about 500 people who have walked in my shoes...been shut out, looked down at, made fun of, and oh yes, ignored because we were obese. And the room was filled with confident, beautiful caring people who all have a new way to live their life just overwhelmed me! Especially Bo and Kirk, now there's two young men who have come so far and to share their life with us was truly a blessing from above. I just want to reach out and help so many obese people get back their lives......God Bless each and everyone who read's my profile

I AM SO ASHAMED OF MYSELF FOR NOT KEEPING UP TO DATE WITH MY LIFE CHANGING AND LIFE SAVING PROGRESS...
I'll begin with...I reached my goal weight 13 months from my WLS and that is 130-135 ish. A year ago I had 10 pounds of skin removed, last Dec. I got down to 126...Dr. Holloway told me..get this, "you need to gain some weight." NEVER thought I would ever have a DR. tell ME that! So after losing 140 pounds I found 10....I'm not diabetic any more, sleep like a baby,and dont snore, don't have high blood pressure, no pain meds for knees and back. I have more energy than my daughters that are 41 and 35. And for being 60 in Nov...gee, I feel like maybe 35 or 40. Life is wonderful.
I also helped start a support group 6-02 and now am the leader of the pack. Our web site is WWW>NPWLSSG.org if anyone wants to check us out. I am here to help anyone with their own WLS issues or help start a support group. I did help one get started in Scottsbluff, NE. I work-out at Curves 5 days a week and 2 years ago my only exercise was walking to the fridg to get something to eat...how life has change! I shop till I drop,mow our lawn(not self propelled). I helped a daughter move last week to a up stairs apt, 16 steps times 40-50 times up and down carring something...another thing I could never have done before. I love my new life and to help someone with WLS is all I want to do. Take care all of my WLS families all over the world.....

WOW, does time fly when your having fun is an understatement!!
Getting ready to go to VEGAS, yes I said VEGAS! The Oldies group of ObesityHelp are having a get together Nov. 9th-15th of 03. I have been helping with that from good old Nebraska. Making name tags and having t-shirts printed up for the occasion. I'm also going to take my digital and take 100's of pictures to have put on a dic for all the gals. I wear from a 4 to 8 in skirts, a 5 to a 8 in jeans or slacks, 8 in dresses,and my "undies" a 5 is almost to big...and we won't talk about bra size, there's not much to talk about anymore! I guess you would probably guess I am very happy and proud of the results not to forget about how my health has changed! The only thing I take is my friend "Zoloft". oh, I'm between 126 and 130. "Who ever would have believed this was possible"??? Later, and God Bless all of you "losers" and soon to be "losers", Beth from NE.

TUMMY TUCK!!!
The new picture is really my picture 10 days after TT. I have lost 135 total. Feeling 38 instead of 58!! LIFE is so great and thank GOD for WLS!!! Fully dressed, jewelry and all 133! How weird to take a shower and look down and see feet and legs...haha God Bless All of you! Beth
