I traveled from the Chicago area to have surgery with Dr. Hess last April. My friend is having surgery Monday (5/7). My husband is going with her (he is her cousin). I am taking care of her kids (and mine). I feel great! My weight loss has tappered off, but I am at my goal for size. I am about 15 pounds heavier than I had imagined, but am actually smaller in size than I had anticipated. So I guess I shouldn't get hung up on the numbers. This has been the best thing I ever did for myself. I have had a lifelong burden lifted. My first diet was at about age 8 and I have thought about my weight and failures everyday since, until I had this surgery!!!!DawnBPD/DSDr. Hess, Bowling Green, OH267 to 165size 22 to size 105'4"no more high blood pressure, sore feet, or dieting!!have met size goal, weight goal to be adjusted!---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight #'s throw me off... people who i think look wonderful weigh more then I think they do, so I will really be looking at the sizes of clothes. Which for me will be easy.. I'd like to just be able to shop at any clothes store! hehe.. Hope your friend does well!! Becky/ pixel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
