That's great Tammy. I know it seems like a long time coming. I'm doing o.k. I have only lost 35 lbs since April 11th. I wish I could claim a loss of more, but that's it. I have went from size 22 pants to 16 , so I guess I am losing inches. Would just like to see the numbers go down faster. Let me know how your surgery goes. Good Luck, Friend.

Hey Tam!!! Glad to hear from you. Just hang in there, it will happen and probably faster than you expect. Thanks for the compliment, it really makes my day when someone besides myself can tell a difference. What I notice the most is that my eyelids are slimmer.. I have actually lost weight there. Ha Ha...
Keep in touch and up-to-date,
Your Friend,
Brenda

Hey Tammy...haven't heard from you. Just wanted to know how you are and how thing's are going.

hi again KyMama56! i'm in a small town bout 20 somethin miles south of bowling green called scottsville. if ya yawn you'd miss it. oh i was noticin that lots of people had the same surgery you had. was wonderin if ya know of many people that's had the lap band surgery. that's what i'm gonna have. my weight loss is suppose to be slower they say but i question how that could be if my intake is so little. take care and i look forward to followin your success!!! good luck and ttys~tammy!!!

Oh Tammy ..it is always so good to hear from another Kentucky woman. I am in eastern Ky., near Prestonsburg. And you? I tried the Obesity Help Forum, but just didn't like it. Too much advertising and nonsense going on throughout the page. Ugh! I really like this one, it is so easy to maneuver around. Keep on touch.

hi KyMama56! thanks for addin me! i look forward to chatin. oh i'm a kentucky mom too! i'm still pre-op but hope it won't be much longer now. ttys~tammy!!!
