One year ago TODAY!

Wow, what a year it has been for me. Thanks to everyone for their continuious support! It is much appriciated. This year has been an unforgetable year for me. Down 130 pounds from the seminar, 6/19/2006. 280 Pounds and now 150 pounds. I DO NOT regret anything! I would do it all over again. I love the new me! I never thought this day would come. This year has gone by quickly and now it's my Surgeryversary! It's hard to think about the OLD me, and she has been replaced with the new and improved me! The healthy me, that can play basket ball with her 12 year old son and keep up, the healthy me that can dance and sing with her 7 year old daughter. The health me, that can push her 10 year old to leave the playstation alone and get out and run around and play. And get this, KEEP UP WITH THEM. This has been an amazing journey. Thanks to all, you have been a huge support in my life. Love, Laura

Hey surgiversary sister!!!!!!!! Down 130 lbs? Can you even believe it? This surgery is amazing, well I guess we are too (lol), we've had to use the tool that was given to us, and it isn't an easy job!! Love the pic of you in your old pants, you look wonderful!!

Hey you two! It's one year for me too. What a great year--I can't believe how active I am now compared to one year ago. I'm down 105.5 lbs. and very close to goal. I don't post here often but you can believe I read every day and get inspired by all of you. Go Jan. 07s!!!!!

Happy 1st Surgiversary, Laura!! I agree that this first year has gone by quickly and I don't regret a thing, either! I just know that year #2 is going to be better than the first now that we have healthier bodies and happier minds. Looking forward to seeing you around here more often . ~Suz

Congrats!! It has been an amazing year for me also. I wish I could just hand out my surgeons business card to everyone I meet to tell tham that there is a way out. Keep up the great wook! Lea Ann

Laura- Congrats on your surgiversary- you have had such a successful year!!! Way to go!!! Holly

Thank you all for your kind words! It's truly been an amazing journey for me as well for everyone that has had this surgery. Thanks again!

Congratulations on your wonderful year!!

Laura, it has been a very fast year. I feel the same way, I am completely shocked when I see old pics....yikes. How unhealthy I was and like you I couldn't even play with my 5yr old. He is six now and we are all as family enjoying life. Congratulations on your Surgeryversary!!! You have done fantastic!!! Anna
