By the way, I started at 370 and I have lost to about 235-40 (depending on

Then we are right there together...But your a few inches shorter than me

right? I keep hoping that with plastics, maye a number starting with a 1 is

in my future...LOL. If not, I'll be happy. I am tons better without the 140+

lbs I have lost...I just hope they stay gone...I know your so much

better...When I tell people about success stories, your one of the first I

think of.

You and Marta...LOL. Of course I don't mention names...LOL....Like anyone here

Hi Marta, I told her about the hernia thing so she is going to get it

checked out. I don't think she will be doing the tummy tuck as she

said that she is getting too old and she doesn't want have anymore

surgery unless absolutely nessasary. Dang, she acts like she's 80

and she is only 58! LOL

> Revisions...... hmmm. I don't know. I need to have a hernia

repair since Dr. K says I have a quite large one... and possibly a

tummy tuck at that time, but I confess, I am afraid of a 2nd

surgery. I haven't done any counting, but it just seems that there

are more people who have major complications with the 2nd surgery

than with their original DS??? If it were not for the hernia... I

would be done with surgery forever. Because of the hernia.. I guess

I have another surgery in the future... but not for at least another

year.
