I wanted to write and let everyone know how we're doing. I have lost 135lbs since having my weightloss surgery last year Sept 18/01. I feel pretty healthy except been living on pain killers as we came to find out I have gallstones and my surgeon figures I have a stone that is stuck and requested for me to have surgery ASAP. So I am just awaiting a date


hopefully it will be real soon. I can't take the pain anymore.


Honestly sometimes I don't know how I would get by without the love and


letters I have recieved through the hard times in my life from the LOTH


ladies.


I also am in court with my ex he is finally in court for threatening to kill me. I went a week ago and it was adjourned and I had such a bad gallbladder attack I had to go to hospital. I also shook the entire time I had to be in the same room as him and I cried. I am so scared of him and it kills me that I have to go back again and see him yet again. It feels like we are the ones who suffer we are victimized over and over. I just want it to be over. This has been hard on my kids and me. Women like you keep me going and I thankyou all. I will continue to keep you all updated *hugs*
