The Latest News....

I am officially down 230 pounds now. I had my lower body lift on June 30. The Dr. took of 47 POUNDS!!!!! It was a record for Mt. Sinai Hospital. I was in surgery for 14 hours. They found a hernia while they were in there too so that was extra time. They also needed to give me a blood transfusion because I lost alot of blood.  I have had a couple of minor complications but nothing major. I had an allergic reaction to the steri strips and tape thtat they used on my skin and I fell very ill after overdoing it one weekend in Atlantic City with some friends, which landed me a two day hospital visit. Things are looking great now. I have added pictures now. Take a look under After Plastic Surgery! I hope everyone is well. I will be in Upstate NY the first week couple of weeks in August!
