Hi friends,

came home last night and I don't think I have taken my eyes off her

since! She had a wonderful time at camp, even though she only went for 4

weeks instead of 8 this year. She needed to get home to get her bloodwork

and EKG in plenty of time for her upcoming surgery. We go together on

Tuesday, and then I get the pap and mammo on Thursday (don't know which one I

hate more).

Couldn't wait to hop on Chris' bed and have her actually there with me. As

you know, that is where she and I have always shared our " bonding

experiences. " lol Anyway, I spent a lot of time in her room, perched on her

bed while she was gone, but something (someone) was definitely missing! lol

The good news is: she lost 28 pounds in the 4 weeks and is exercised, tan,

and energized! I know this will be a help for the surgery.

Well, that's it from here--just wanted to share my good news!! I'll be

praying for all who go this week. Good luck, dear friends, and let us know

how you are doing.

Regards,

Wow Debbie,

That is great news about Chris! I bet she's so excited, and feeling so

much better about herself! I would love to meet you two some day! I can

come to Fox Valley Mall anytime, or the surrounding area.. I plan to be going

shopping a LOT soon! For smaller clothes, of course... : ) Take care, and

let me know how it's going with your insurance company and with Chris's

surgery!

Deb in IL

[Guest guest]

and Debbie,

First let me say to WAY TO GO GIRL 28lbs is fantastic! :-)

I am so happy for the both of you. I hope to meet you both one day.

I know how it feels to sit on a bed and miss the talks with your daughter

Debbie. My daughter is leaving for college next month and I already miss

her. She has grown up so fast. My oldest son is in the US Marine Corp. He

just came home from Okinawa, Japan (after a year over there) and now is

stationed at ville, NC. The baby son is still here though. He is 10

and has CP, he's a quadriplegic and guess he will always be at home for me to

fuss over. :-)

Enough about me, I just wanted to let you both know that you are always

on my mind and in my prayers. you will definitely be have a great

year, just look out for all the guys that you will be making crazy just to

get a look at you. They will all be wanting to be your boyfriend and all the

girls will be jealous!

By for now but Debbie, please let us know how your ins. progress is going.

in SC

Pre-op

386 lbs.

Waiting on ins. approval

If you see someone without a smile,

Give them one of yours.

If you and I should meet and

You forget me, you have lost nothing.

If you meet JESUS and you forget him,

you will have lost everything.

[Guest guest]

Woohoo!! That's great news! I'm glad she's back. And 28 pounds in 4

weeks is a fantastic weight loss, too!

Tell her hi for me!

Hugs!

WOW! Debbie, that is fantastic! has done really well, and I know

she'll be successful with the MGB. How I wish I had done this 10 years ago.

I'm only 32, so am lucky to be able to live most of my adult life as a

" normal " sized person (once 100 more pounds fall off!) but I only wish that

I could have done this sooner.

I can't wait until BOTH of you get to dance with the doc!

Blessings,

Amy.

Okie dokie, Holly! We can take you to Fox Valley Mall with us, or maybe we

could come down to Bloomington mall... I've never been there, but have heard

it's nice...and that would be closer for you, right? I will come down there

when I can buy clothes in the regular section! I am hoping by next spring, I

will be able to throw all my plus sizes away!

Sounds good Deb.. or everyone can come here, if you would prefer.. maybe by

next summer I will have a pool, and we can cook out ( I'll buy a hamburger

pattie for us to share..lol), and jump on the trampoline... We will be

looking for fun ways to exercise by then.. I am already planning to try to

take a vacation to Durham next summer for my anniversary.. my hubby wants to

go take a fishing trip there.. he says there is a good lake or something near

there...all I know is that he is planning on hauling the boat out there, so

that probably means we won't be flying...LOL Anyway, we need to get

together. I met Debbie Wade from Virginia at clinic, and she is visiting her

sister this week in Illinois. Yesterday, we all met for lunch (Debbie, her

hubby, her sister, and my daughter and I)... It was really nice. They are

wonderful people. I feel so fortunate to have met so many nice people on

this list! I feel like my whole life is better for finding out about the

MGB, and I think that is only going to get better. Take care and good luck

with everything!
