I had my band removed due to complications. I was a self-pay so it was twice as hard. I watched your videos over the last year. On 2/02/11 I had a Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy. Please don't ever take your videos down they are such and inspiration and motivation for us all, no matter the bariatric paths we take. Thank you for sharing your journey.

When I first considered this surgery, your videos were the first I watched. You inspired and motivated me and you let me know it would be okay to do this surgery. I had my surgery six months ago and I'm at -44 pounds. Congrats on the engagement! Very excited for you:) Keep up with the videos...you have a lot to share from the winning side of losing!

[budgetqueen79]

YAY!!! Congrats on your engagement!! Couldn't have happened to a better person! Make sure to take plenty of pictures!!

Soooo, Soooo, Sooo happy for you!! You are such an encouragement and inspiration to many, especially myself. I loved your topics and sharing on my personal life as it is really "another world" to share the other side of ourselves through this process as we see things totally different with the weight loss AND personal topics. Congrats on the engagement! Best of Blessing on a wonderful and fruitful relationship!

you keep me motivated. I had my surgery Sept 2009 and have lost 60lbs. I want to lose 100lbs. I'm putting forth the hard work but still thought the weight would come off *slight* quicker. Nonetheless I'm staying focused and seeing your vids helped to keep me pushing. I love your spirit! So glad you got engaged!!! God bless ya'lll!!
