I waited all day for Pat to come here and give us a speech!

Hey girl, you have done great! You look fantastic too!

OK, now give us the speech!

Awww, I'm so touched by the kind words. I had joked with Eillen that I wasn't telling, LOL.

Though, I'm thrilled to be down 52 lbs, (depending on the day I weigh, yoyo-ing with 2 lbs), I had truly hoped to be at least a 75 lbs loss. I guess if you add the muscle gain, it puts me close to that goal.

I knew from the start of this decision, that the weight loss would be much slower than the gastro bypass, but I see others who have lost so much more in this amount of time and I want to kick my own ash.

In light of the recent erosion cases, I truly feel blessed to be able to continue, even at the slow pace, with my band. Had I not been banded, I probably would have never had the opportunity to have met the wonderful folks here at LBT.

Thanks for allowing me in your home each day and sharing my life with you all, band or no band. Hugs to all!
