:tt2: Hello all, I've been doing good, I'm down 53 lb's now since 9/15/08 and is doing real good. I feel so much better I can't believe how 53lbs could make such a difference, but it did. There for awhile I thought I'd never feel good again, but after 6 weeks I started feeling like a new person. I'm so happy I had this surgery, I was afraid but I think it was the best thing I ever done, I wish my insurance would have paid years sooner. Love and Hugs Bobbie:thumbup::whatchutalkingabout:wub::laugh::laugh::cool2: P.S. I've had two fills since surgery too :wub:)

I'm so happy for you and how encouraging is your testimony. I'm schedule 12/18 and I'm so excited. I'm going on a cruise in 2/09 I'm aleady looking for that special dress. Keep up the good work! and keep in touch.

If you could give advice to people behind you ...like me i just had my first fill...what would your words of advice be?

:thumbup: Melisa, Wow that's a hard one, I think the most important thing is to follow your doctors orders, and don't get discouraged if you don't lose right away, sometimes yous stay the same weight for awhile. It's gonna come off, and the way I see it is well we took years to put this on our bodies, so it might take awhile for it to come off, but slow is better, if you lose it too fast then your skin hangs and I really don't want to have another surgery for that.

Be patient and follow your diet and everything will happen the way it should. Love and Hugs Bobbie:w00t:

Thank You!!! :sad_smile:
