Hi Everyone,
I am so bad about posting and have no known accuses, other than work , work, work. Anyway let me see, I guess everyone would like to know about my weight. For the last month my weight is holding at 145 lbs. and this is a very good weight for me, I'm 5'8" so I'm right in my weight zone and my BMI is 22.0. I wear a size 7-8 pants and M-L shirt, I'm pretty happy with how I look in my clothes but without my clothes my lower body reminds me of a sharpae dog , lots of skin. My hair is still in good shape, I lost some hair but I have alot of new growth coming in. I'm now reseaching other surgeries for my face and body. Life is good and I am free at last. Well that's it for now. Love you OH'ers
I thank GOD the most for taking my hand and showing me the way to this surgery, I thank my surgeon Bruce Applebaum for his skills and the wonderful staff that he put together, and I thank Obesity help for their kindness, this web page and all the awesome people that helped answer my many questions. All of you rock!!!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry it's been a while, I have no excuses. I'm happy to report that I'm still loosing weight but much more slowily now . My weight tonight is at 169 pounds and yesterday I purchased a size 9 blue jean and they fit, how cool is that. My BMI is 25.7, still over weight but not by much. I want to get down to 150 pounds. So that means I have 19 pounds to go. My body looks great in clothes, but without clothes the loose skin is pretty bad. I can still remember the young woman I once was with toned prefect skin and sometimes I worry I might need more surgery. For now I'll keep my clothes on and hope for the best. I could have never done this own my own and I know I am very lucky just to have the chance.
I would love to quit smoking not for me but for my surgeon. I wish I could tell the world what a great, wonderful and truely gifted person Doctor Applebaum is. I cringe when someone tells me they are seeing another surgeon. I look forward to all of my visits with Doctor Applebaum and yes I have a bit of a crush on him.
Well I'll say by for now. Love to all the OH'ers

Hi OH ers,
My weight is still dropping but has slowed alot. My scale reads at 178 and that is so great, my BMI is 27.1. I am now in a size 14 pant and a large top. This is the best thing that has happened to me. I can't beleave how different people treat me now that I'm just overweight. People are so much nicer than they once were and that is so sad to me. I now go out of my way to smile at my fellow obese people.
This month I got the job of my dreams. Well that's about it for now. Love you all.

What a month I have had, but first the good news I got on the old scale on 12/07/2006 guess what my wieght is 198 and my BMI 30.1 I'm just obese. This is so great I have not been under 200 pounds in 4 years. Jumping for joy! I can't beleive I'm under 200 lbs. I want to go shop so bad for new clothes but I know the scale will keep going down and that is throwing away money in my mind. That's 89 pounds in 4 months. Jumping for joy!
Now for the other news 1 weeks before Thanksgiving I started hurting bad in the lower part of my anatomy. I thought will, it's that time of the month and it was and I guess it's was going to be a bad one. So a waited a couple of days later I fealt really bad so I took myself to my family doctor. They can't run some tests because it's that time of the month and the test would just not show what they needed. So the doctor gaves me some meds. and off I went. I took all the meds but the pain was so bad that I thought my insides were coming out. So I go to the ER 10 days later at 12:30am and see the doctor on call. I was taking ASO to help the pain. The doctor gave me some meds. for that night and told me to come back the next day for more test and so the ASO could get out of me. So I do as I'm told. My test showed that I had a kidney infection. Well, for 10 days I took my meds. twice daily. In that time I could not take my vitamins, no protein shakes, no tums, no mike or cheese products. I thought I would loose my mind. My hair started to fall out and my skin looked very dull. Needless to say after I finished my meds. I have started back on my protein and vitamins and they are so good.
I did purchase a new outfit for a Christmas party I attened last night. There were about 400 people at the party. We live in a very small town so we knew alot of the attendee's. everyone made comments about how great I looked and I felt like a queen. I even managed to get my husband to dance 1 dance but that's a start. It's the first time he has danced in 20 years. He! He!
Well that's it for now. Love all you OH'ers
