OMG! I can't believe I'm actually down 70lbs and it will be six months on 5/2/12. This is so awesome! I love that I can cross my legs without having my lower legs go numb. LOL! My thighs don't touch when I walk and I had to buy all new clothes. I feel like a million dollars. To wake up every morning without back pain is the absolute best thing I have gotten from this surgery. No more pain pills, no more bulging discs and no heel pain at the end of the work day! I will post pics when I find the time. Thank you all for posting. Your words have helped through the weird times, the frustrating times and the happiest times. Stay cool!

Lisa, great job! Glad to hear from you!!

Lisa, congratulations!

Your improvements are absolutely wonderful and it sounds as though your quality of life has greatly improved!

I have scoliosis and am starting to enjoy the benefits of having less weight on my spine. It is definitely great to be in less pain.

Malyss, Is that a new picture? Love it!

Lissa - Yes, it is. Thank you. I went and had my hair chopped off last Thursday morning. It's a blast from my past hair styles, but it's a good, easy summer haircut.

Congrats !!!! Can't wait to be in your shoes :-)

Great job!!!!!!! Such an encouraging post!!!!!

congrats !!!!

Thanks everyone!! Isn't great to go get your hair done and pamper ourselves. I didn't do much of that before, just didn't even like the idea.

Krissy20: you will be here eventually...you will look and feel HOT! Keep me posted!
