What a fabulous group I've discovered! My name is Kathy and I live in Corpus Christi, Texas, where the roof is leaking, the tropical rains left by hurricane Dolly are still pouring, and the wind is blowing (but it always does in Corpus!). I had my surgery on April 11. I lost 16 pounds pre-surgery (in the six months of jumping through insurance hoops) and have lost 35 post-surgery. I want to lose about 40 more (I'm 5' 2" and am at 179 now). The support group locally is on a night that I'm unavailable, so I thank you all for being here and providing answers when I need them (which you've done several times already without knowing it!). Hopefully I can return the favor from time to time.
The Lord bless you all.
