i have a question for those of you who are post surgery over a year. Is this diarrhea something we will be dealing with the rest of our life, or does it get better as well? Anyone know?
SCOOP AND TUCK!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!! Yeah, I do the same. No boobs left. I need to buy some new bras again, but I think I will try to wait until I am in the states this December to go to VS. I was originally a 40E, and now I think i...

- About Me:
- Hi to all!
My name is Glenda and I'm from Texas. I am 40 years old and am truly happily married to my best friend, Kenny. I have three children, two grown (barely) and a 8 yr old. The older two are in college and are working and the youngest is in third grade. We are a very busy family. We are on the go 24/7 but my "go-er" was getting slower and slower....... I have been overweight all of my life and have tried many things but to no avail. Nothing works for me except being pregnant. I lost up to 40 #s each time I was pregnant with morning/noon/night sickness. Not a good long term plan!! ; ) I've steadily put on 10 #s each year for the last ten years...doing the math....that's way too much!!!
I finally made the decision that if I wanted to keep on going with the rest of my family, I'd better do something quick! I had my MGB in July of 2008 and I have done very well and am thrilled with the results so far. I am nearly 7 months out now and down over 110#. I am 2/3 of the way to where I want to be and in such a short time....I can't complain! The only "problem" I've had is my hair is falling out like crazy but I'm not bald yet ; )
I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone who struggles like I have. My family is thrilled with the results as well. Life has dramatically changed - all of it better and it was all pretty wonderful before! Being fat makes you tired and makes you feel a little left out of things. I have a ton of energy and feel really good nearly all the time! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to email me. I would be glad to tell you whatever you need to know.

15-1/2 months out - Lovin' it!
Hello Everyone!
Hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to do a quick update. I am 15-1/2 months out. I had surgery with Dr. R on July 2, 2008. Started at 320#s! Today I am at 157! I figured if I stopped in the 160s I would be thrilled. (160 being 1/2 of my old self) But now the scale hasn't stopped - just trickles down, little by little. I feel pretty amazing. I didn't get to do my bloodwork at 12 months because my husband lost his job but I had done it at 9-1/2 months. So, I'm hoping to get… Continue

8 months out
Hello Everyone!
Just a quick update. I just had my 8 month anniversary and just wanted to fill you all in. I am down 124 lbs since July 08. I have gone from a 30/32 to a 16/XL. I feel so good and am so excited about life. I can for the first time in my life consider the possiblity of being a "normal" size, but the benefits are far greater than that! Looking better counts for alot, I won't deny, but feeling great counts a whole lot more! I was one of those who wondered if it would really work for… Continue

4 months out - Down 73 lbs!
Hey Everyone!
Just a quick update today for you all. I had my surgery in July and I will be 4 months out in 2 days. I am down 73 lbs and am feeling great. I started aerobics a few weeks ago and am having alot of fun with it. I am having almost no pain in my legs and feet which is the greatest part of this journey so far. I have been able to get rid of all the clothes that I started with. That is a great feeling. I've gone from a 30 to a 22/24. A 4X to a 2X. I still have so far to go but I feel l… Continue

- Hi Glenda,What a great looking family you have. My name is Adrienne I am working on my packet and have no surgery date as of yet. I would love to have you as a contact and friend. Love the pictures of the kids love the girls red skirts they are sharp. Hope to hear from you soon. I am really inspired by your story I have much pain in my feet and legs as well as some ankle swelling even when I am on my feet for a short time to I have 3 grown children 2 girls one boy and 3 grandchildren 3, 5 and 5 weeks old all boys. I really want to be here to watch them grow up and play with them I have many clothes that are plus sizes would love to trade them in for smaller sizes it must be a great to do that. My grandson who is 5 says the other day nana, I love you nana even if you are so big I can still hug you, right out of the mouths of babs, huh.
looking forward to hearing from you Adrienne :)

I just read your post about coming to NY and saw your pics! Even though I live here it was nice to see NYC pics through someone elses eyes. As I went through the pics I can't believe that is you in your before pics. You look like a totally different person and you look fantastic! I hope my future out come is like your success. I hope you had a great time while you where here...the weather can be a little crazy. Much continued success!
