Rita - I just wanted to say that your page is wonderful and is a inspiration

to me And you look awesome blossom!!

Now my check in..

BMI start 49.46

weight as of 3/99 was 270 at 5 ft 2 inches

Roux en Y Gastric Bypass performed by Dr. Leo with Pacific Bariatrics

(www.pbsmg.com)at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego

Now, (as of July 4th 2000)

BMI 29.27

weight 165 and I grew a inch! 5 ft 3 inches

And on July 25th (fingers crossed) I will be returning to that same hospital

with the same surgeon to have a hernia repair we well as a reconstructive

surgeon giving me a tummy tuck (Which I will find out Monday FOR SURE that

my insurance will cover it.. I don't know how I'm going to make it through

the weekend.. much less until the 25th!)

Thank you all for your encouragment and support on this list.. it's nice to

know I'm not the only crazy err.. um person.. who.. had the WLS surgery

heehe

Love you all!

Sally in San Diego
