I keep forgetting to check in on this. I'm down to 254 as of this morning, so down 4 pounds since the first of the month. Hope I can make it another 4 pounds by the 30th! I need to start exercising more!

Hi there! I've never done this before, so I'll introduce myself. I have been married for 31 years and have one son who is 26 years old, married, and gave me a beautiful grandson 6 months ago. I absolutely adore my grandson and LOVE being a grandma!!!! I am SOOOOO happy I had the surgery and have not regretted it for even one single moment since I had it. My only regret is that I didn't do it at least 10 years ago. My doctor here in Tulsa is great - Dr. Ladd Atkins. I love this forum and everyone on it. It has been a lifesaver during the time before and since my surgery!
