Girl you are rockin' that dress. Go ahead, go sexy . . . its ya birthday! You are doing WONDERFUL!!

Thanks for the compliment girlie! I'm trying, although 2day I feel rather fat! Whatever that means. I think I might be stalled, but I wouldn't know, I only weigh when I go to the dr. I guess we'll see! Peaopl are noticing the weight loss though, which feels great!
Oh and thanks for the compliment about my Kai! As the say goes, I guess "she get if from her momma!" LOL! No seriously though thanks.
Agape,
Dekonte

You go girl, lookin' good! You are rockin' that fro. Keep up the good work.

Ya girl, Tasha

P.S. Kai is just the doll!

Tomorrow (today central standard time) is your day! I will say a prayer for you! OMG, your on the losing bench!!!

You are so welcome! Your day is coming really quick and I know you will do just fine. God bless you sis. Keep me informed. Tasha

Thanks so much Tasha for replying to me! Again you really look great! You are right at the size I want to be, my goal is 185, but just below 200 will be great! I got my date now! It's June 26th! So I am on my way! I am praying my skin stays as good as its been! I lost 80 lbs, 3 yrs ago and had no extra skin. So hopefully my skin and genetics will hold up! And you are so right about us sistas! I told my doctor I need to make sure to keep my"big butt and my smile"! Well anyway let me run! Thanks for answering my questions and I will definitely keep in touch.

Hey. As "Godsblessedme" mentioned, I too do not have any regrets (except for not doing it sooner). I am 1 year and 3 months out, never had any problems at all. Although I did have this one episode with a crab cake . . . but trust me you don't want to hear about that. LOL. In the beginning, I was losing pretty steady, but around Decemberish I slowed down drastically. In fact, I have been this same weight for about 6 months now. I just don't think God meant for everyone to be skinny. Plus, sistas don't want to lose the booty anyway. (smile) My skin looks okay. People tell me all the time that they can't tell that I had the Gastric Bypass because my skin doesn't hang like most. But like I said, "its okay". Just don't try to smach my thighs because it won't ever stop jiggling. LOL!! As you probably already guessed, I had the Gastric Bypass RNY. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need. Tasha

Hello, my name is Dekonte and I saw your photo album! Looking at your profile we are starting at the same weight! I am having my surgery one day this month. I also am a african american woman, and I am just wondering how you have felt since your surgery. Did you have lapband or RNY, and since your 103 lb wt loss how is your skin holding up? You look fabulous! If possible could you just let me know how you are doing ! I hope well!
