Beep, beep (sorry!) here's to you backing up out of your comfort zone!! I totally understand not wanting to leave your comfort zone...I've been going to the gym by myself, since my sister changed gyms. But I'm still going... and I'm still hating it! LOL My best-friend just had surgery yesterday (4-1-08) and I'm so excited for her.

Come on as often or as little as you feel the need...'cause life keeps moving along and keeps us all too busy!

Hi Katzz87.
Howz things? I would love a new Friend. I know I don't get on here enough. It is such a good source of info though. I am trying to get past this 5 or 6 month confort zone I have parked my butt in....hahaha...

Hello goshera1!

I too am a patient of Dr. Machados...only 11 weeks post-op though. I personally can not wait to get under 200 lbs...and your weight of 170...ahhh....would be heaven! You mentioned in a post that this surgery doesn't make you "skinny"...so true! We still have to work at it...and I'm just working this honey-moon stage for all it's worth! Do you ever go to the support meetings?

Take care!

Cathy
