I am in so much pain and down 10 pounds...not good for me. My urogyn is extending my disability. I am so thankful for that.

Sandi,
You are such an inspiration.
I remember the first time I met you. You were so lovely and gracious. Each time after that still lovely and gracious and often times accompanied by your loving hubby.
Then today I saw your photo and there is still that lovely woman, but with something differant.
It is a sparkle in your eyes that shines the brightest light!! Wow!! you look great but the eyes say you are feeling even better!!

Amazing!!

Unhappy I'm so sorry for the late response!

I'm so sorry girls for my late response to all of your notes and for making me CRY!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I've been sick all week, some sort of stomach virus, I'd say more intestinal.. nausea and severe diarrhea (TMI) both of our computers "pooped" out on us at the same time too... sheesh I've been stranded, you could say!
You all have really made me feel incredible with your compliments, when others see it, then it makes it "real"... you know how it is, others can see it while we can't....
Thanks girls, for helping me to open my eyes and see that I don't really weigh 422 pounds anymore... that I really can get into those smaller clothes and really look almost normal again...

You're ALL incredible yourselves!!!! I love you!!

Here's a picture I found, 3 months post op, I think I'd lost about 75 pounds here and thought I was so much thinner.... at this point, I thought, "am I done?" I guess I wasn't.... don't give up, you that are at a stand still, like I am now, it'll start up again... I keep telling myself that too!

You look absolutely lovely, Sandi, and it's not a weight loss thing. You glow, your eyes shine, and self love and pride show in your picture. I hope to be as successful as you are! We haven't seen you since the holiday party, I'd love to see you again soon.....before the next holiday party!
