Good luck Judy. We'll be thinking about you. Deb

I've seen the commericals and the ads in magazines for the shoes called Shape-ups by Skechers. The ad states they are designed to help burn more calories, tone muscles, and improve posture.... etc. Sounds to good to be true to me. My question is has any one bought them and do they do what they are suppose to do? In my opinion they are some ugly ass shoes....... but I'm willing to purchase them if they do what they are advertised to do. Holla back. Deb

Congrats. I look forward to your blog. Best wishes. Deb

Kudos on your progress thus far. Keep up your hard work. It's great you don't have to take meds anymore. That's one of the things I'm looking forward to is not having to take my blood pressure meds. Keep us updated. Again job well done. Deb

DAMN. Sorry, but that was my first thought. Fifty pounds has made a BIG difference in you. Keep up the excellent work. Deb

Congrats on your surgery date. That's awesome. Please keep us updated. Deb

Bravo, I could not have said it better. Best wishes for a safe operation and a quick recovery. Keep us updated. Deb

CONGRATS ON YOUR APPROVAL. Hopefully I'll be there in the next 6 to 8 weeks. Deb

GOOD LUCK!!!! Deb

Wow... three years and I thought three months was to long. I just had a consultation with my surgeon yesterday on the 14th and he uses a 34f bougie and he fully expects me to lose all of my excess weight as long as I follow the guidelines. Which I will!!!! Good luck Sue. Deb

Good luck sweetie. Best of wishes for a safe operation and a speedy recovery. You are on your way. Deb

Best wishes for a smooth operation and a quick recovery. You'll do great! Deb

KUDOS!!! A job well done. Keep up the good work. Deb

Thanks Mini-Me for the feedback. By the way I think your username is cute. Have a great weekend. Deb

Kathy, I'm glad to hear everything is fine. Best wishes for a quick recovery. Deb

Congrats.. Sounds like everything went exceptionally well. Best wishes for continued success. Deb

I just learned my surgeon that I have my consultation with on Monday has performed over 1000 bariatric surgeries which includes 100 of those being the sleeve. He comes highly recommended and his facility is a Center of Excellence. He has had no leaks, no deaths, but one stricture. Should I be concern about the one stricture and what questions if any should I ask him about it? Any input would be helpful. Deb

Excellent. Everythings seems to be going well for you. Hopefully soon I'll be joining that losers club with you.

Stop..... sumthingwong (LOL.) Deb

Yes do tell, how are you doing? How exciting for you!!!! Deb

Hello. I know what you mean by full of emotions. Even now when I have made my decision, I still ask myself am I making the right one. I always come back with a YES!!!! It's for the best. I can't do this on my own. From what I've read on this site the sleeve is a great tool. I think you will be very happy about your decision. Good luck. Deb

Welcome. I'm fairly new to this forum too and I have found it very interesting and informative. I've learned so much, as I'm sure you will too. Best of luck on your journey and please keep us posted. Ciao.

So happy to hear your surgery went well. Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery. Deb

Congrats.

I can't give you any advice because I have'nt had my surgery yet, but keep up the excellent work. I feel you are in the zone. Deb
