Good morning to all.....@ RDOACTV......that was my exact weight when I went into surgery..(223 at my highest)..I'm only 5'3".....you will fabulous soon!!!!! The funny thing was, when I went into the hospital and saw so many people much heavier than me, I felt so little. But I was still in denial about how much I had let myself go up until the anesthesiologist said "bye bye!"

Thanks to everyone for the nice compliments.....

@ Laserskingirl My blog is at www.queenofcrop.com you might want to start with www.queenofcrop.com/about The reason I am replying to all is because if you are new to this forum you need to be sure you have your settings set to see the signatures of everyone. This is where you have links to blogs and you can see the ticker tapes of people and their overall signature lines. It was months before I had mine set and it makes a difference. The forum doesn't really want you to put links in to your blogs in the comment section (which I completely disagree with BTW). For some reason I think they don't like the self-promotion. But I have only written my blog because other people's blogs are what inspired me to do this (along with the forum). I'm not selling anything so I just don't see what the big deal is. But I get my hands slapped once in a while when I do. But I often get asked this question because newer people haven't learned to turn the Signatures on.

Thanks again everyone. Have a great week!

Would love to know what you are having done.....can you email me? Shall we talk about it on my blog? I'm getting very excited but right now just looking at having the breast lift/implants done.

You look great! I have started my plastics journey as well and will get a lift/aug the same month as you. We will have to correspond about how it goes!

Queen, I feel the same way. I carry my weight very evenly, so most scoff and say I don't need it. But I have health and joint issues too. HBP (38 and suffered a ministroke), sleep apnea..ect. And ar 5'0..Im NOT a small girl. I can't wait. Keep up the great work you've done and I look forward to reading your maintenance adventures in Amsterdam!
