Dear Joya Congratulations on your upcoming surgery....I also live in Detroit and had my surgery on Dec 4th, and we also are close to the same starting weight. I was 306 day of surgery, and now weigh in the 230's somewhere, I weigh myself once a month. As of March 15th I weighed 243, down 63 lbs. I gave away my scale after surgery because I was on it everyday after surgery....I gave it to a friend and said "Give it back to me when I hit the Century Mark, Not until then..." Well Good Luck and write me if you need anything. All the Best, Cinde Shaw

To my friend, you have a very big inspiration to me. I pray that everything goes well for you. I know we have joked in the past but you are really a blessing in disguise. Hopefully, in the near future, after my surgery we can exchange clothes. But I will still look better than you(hahaha). I love you. Tonja
