UPDATE: October 22, 2014

Joann,
Here are the pictures I promised you two weeks ago. The first picture is me at my heaviest at 233.8 Christmas Eve 2013.
Then the other two pictures are of me in the last month. I am down to 165.2 for a total weight loss of 68.6lbs since March 20th, 2014.* I have lost a total of 45 inches* and I feel amazing.

JoAnne,

I just wanted to check in a say hi.  I had my surgery back on March 20th, 2014. I've lost 65.8 lbs as of this morning, and I feel great.  I ran my first 5k two weekends ago, and my husband and I just signed up for a 10k next month.  I never in a million years thought that I would become a runner, it is such an amazing feeling to find myself doing things I never thought possible. 

I have to thank you and Jamie both, you both were extremely helpful to my dad and I during our 3 day stay.  From you picking us up at the airport and telling me more about what to expect from surgery and after, to Jamie helping my dad with directions. You guys are the best, and I just wanted to say thanks again.  Please forward this to Jamie!

I will take a pic as soon as I can, but first I have to go buy a smaller size (M).  LOL, I could just pinch myself because I'm so excited.  I will email you once I have it.  Have a wonderful week, and keep up the great work helping so many people. 

Sincerely,
Nickie S
