Hello,anyone who is reading my support page, I am on the 11 week post-op,and am currently at 242,so I am down 40 pounds.Seems slower than most but I guess I should be happy with the the weight dropping,at all.Right?. I have had lots of compliments and this past weekend I went to a wedding, and wore a blouse that I have had hanging in my closet from 13 years ago. Yes, I know that is along time,but I used to work for Pretty and Plump, and I had plenty of tops,that were silky and so colorful,that I kept them.And I am happy to report that,that blouse looked and felt great to have on. My family was so excited to see how I have slimmed down,so far,so good.Thanks to this website.I enjoy all the information,I read and all the advice is great too.
