Still well worth it
$4,750
62 lbs down. I haven't had a fill or anything taken out of my hand in over a year. If a few pounds go on I watch what I eat, follow the golden rules and eat textured food to get back on track. I have had a couple of stuck moments however they have always been my fault. Facebook support groups were really useful in the beginning. Skinny feels great!

Hi there,
I had a phone call from Dolan Park yesterday!
They have re scheduled my procedure for Tuesday 8th March.
My surgeon has cancelled all of his surgery for sunday.
But I am now having his boss do the surgery!
So I am thinking I have had an upgrade...
Kind Regards :))

You look great!
Can I ask a question? Does your port stick out at all? It's a consideration for me as I have a young child who isn't too careful and I'm wondering whether it would be easily knocked. Xx

Not lumps just bones!
It has been a year since my surgery. I have lost 63 lbs and am very happy with my weight. I look and feel so much better and younger.
I do have some lose skin around my knees and upper arms. I have more wrinkles on my face-especially when I smile wide. I would much rather the wrinkles than fat though. Perhaps I will try botox in the summer if it bothers me enough.
I had a bit of a health scare. I found a couple lumps above my left breast. I was freaking out only to discover that they are actually bones and lymph nodes. My doctor laughed at me and explained that now I am thin I can actually feel my breast tissue and nodes. I have discovered my rib cage too. It is like a whole new body!
