Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Congratualtions on your success. Stories like yours help to motivate me to lose the last 10 pounds I need to. I agree the last few pounds are the hardest. I'm just so darn happy to be a size 10 that it is difficult to focus on losing a little more to be at the weight I really should be. I guess good enough is not good enough. ;-) On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 6:02 AM, Michmo <CHEL63@...> wrote: Finally after almost two years!!

My goal was 135. I'm only 5'4 " , probably more like 5' 3 3/4 " to be honest and at this weight I am still a size 8, but am so happy. Definitely have loose skin and boobs. Dont really care about the boobs so much, Secret helps that but I really need a tummytuck after 3 kids by 3 c-sections and my weight at time of surgery was 246 I think, my highest was in the 250-260's range. My life was saved by Dr. Aceves and his team on June 6th, 2009. Thank you all and I know Bipley doesn't remember me but I talked to her via e-mail once because I lurked on lapband.com and OH too, but she was the one to convince me so THANK YOU!!! I started out my journey wanting a lapband and started lurking on lapband.com and met bipley and spent over 2 years researching till I knew in my heart Dr. Aceves was right for me. Thank you all for your posts, I read them all and learn new things all the time. I still must be diligent..when you all say this is a tool, you are right. I could easily down some serious carbs and not blink an eye. Never let your guard down on your tool. Sincerely, Mosley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 , Congratulations to you. Boy do I understand the last 10 pounds. It is a bear to lose and you just have to stick with it and you did. It is nice to know that you are reading the posts. Please feel free to jump in and tell people the things that helped you. It is always nice to have someone share what worked and didn't work for them. Hugs and take care, Suzanne In a message dated 2/22/2011 7:32:50 A.M.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi , Congratulations on your wonderful success. When I read your post... I thought.... it sounds just like me. I started out at 259 and am now at 156 and want to get 10 - 15 pounds more off. I have been researching for a tummy tuck and will be doing that in the next few months. I am considering Dr. Luque and if anyone can give me any information that has had anything done by him... I would be so greatful. I also like you am mainly a faithful reader of these posts and have written a few. This group has been so helpful and supportive and I want to thank you all, especially Suzanne and Bipley. I can't tell you just how important your constant support has been to me (and all of us). Blessings, in Portland From: Michmo <CHEL63@...>Subject: Goal!
