Great MD visit and new activities

Hi everyone! I had my 6 month f/up with my surgeon, even though I am closer to 7 months post op, and like everyone else, seem to be doing well, although the loss is slowing down, and of course we are never ready for it to slow down! I am down 120.5# from day before surgery, from 296 to 175.5 - if I place my foot exactly right on the scale!!!!! Now this is the best part, I WEN****ER SKING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS THIS PAST W/END!!!!!!! I was so thrilled and happy and told everyone at work, at the Y, all my friends.... What a great feeling to be able to do something I have been unable to do for years and it feel so good and have so much fun. My brother took photos and gave me a CD, anyone know what I do now to get them on this site??????? My technique is not the greatest, and I am obviously rustly as I have not been able to do this for years, but I want to be able to post the pix! I am also going to try to dig up one of those 'hideous old me' pix for comparing! Any tips would be appreciated! I want to send an 8X10 glossy photo to my surgeon's office with a post-it saying "thanks to you, look what I did this last w/end!" Every day I am so amazed at what else I can now do and how much easier and better EVERYTHING is! Sarah

It is the greatest feeling in the world to be able to do things again. I played tennis for the 1st time in 15 years and loved every minute of it. You are doing great with lots more to come. Dawn -90
