Karen,
What staggering statistics! You must be so thrilled with your progress. I never did measure before surgery but I really wish I had now. Are you still coming out for your check up and the support group? Looking forward to seeing you again. Big hugs!

Congrats girl do you realize that you are almost half the woman you were 6 months ago. That is crazy. You are doing so well and look great. I sure hope your kids get to feeling better soon. I can't wait to see you someday soon I hope.
Love you and keep up the good work. You look great
