Guest guest Posted June 9, 2000 Report Share Posted June 9, 2000 My hubby is 5'4 and 135# soaking wet. Me? well, I'm 5'9 " and 370#. Talk about a pair. He is behind me 100% and I encourage you to do it. I am currently waiting on insurance approval and as soon as I get it then I am hoping Dr. R will approve me as well. I am so excited! Once I get the weight off I can't wait to get what my hubby calls " floozie " clothes. He He!
