HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!!
TODAY IS MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! 
LIFE IS GREAT. LOSING THIS WEIGHT HAS GIVEN ME A SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, ESPECIALLY AFTER FAILING IN SO MANY ATTEMPTS BEFORE. IT IS A PLEASURE TO GO SHOPPING NOW.
I CAN SIT IN THE BOOTHS IN RESTUARANTS INSTEAD OF THE TABLE/CHAIR SECTION. 
DIABETES IS UNDER CONTROL WITHOUT MEDICATION! JOINT PAIN IS GONE! I HAVE LOTS OF ENERGY!
I EVEN LOVE TO EXERCISE NOW! IMAGINE THAT! I LOOK BACK AT THE BEFORE PICTURES AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I LET MYSELF GET IN THAT SHAPE.
PEOPLE SAY THAT WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY IN YOUR MARRIAGE, THAT YOU USUALLY GAIN WEIGHT. I MUST HAVE BEEN ECTASTIC!!!! 
BECAUSE I PUT ON OVER 100 POUNDS OVER THE MARRIAGE YEARS! NOW THAT I AM 108 POUNDS LIGHTER, I FEEL TRULY THAT MY DOCTOR GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK!!!
WHEN I WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR MY YEAR CHECK UP, HE WAS VERY PLEASED. HE SAID THAT I WAS 10 POUNDS BELOW THE GOAL WEIGHT THAT WAS SET. EVEN AT THAT, MY BMI SAYS THAT I AM STILL SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT...GO FIGURE! THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES THAT I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THIS SURGERY, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT SOME THINGS, EATING TOO FAST AND THE PAIN 
, ETC. BUT I HAVE TO WEIGH OUT THE GOOD AND THE BAD. THE GOOD FAR OUTWEIGH THE BAD AND I WOULD HAVE THE SURGERY AGAIN IN A NEW YORK MINUTE. I DO NOT PLAN ON EVER PUTTING THIS WEIGHT BACK ON.
I DO NOT EVER WANT TO GO BACK AND BE THE WAY I WAS A YEAR AGO. THIS MESSAGE BOARD HAS BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM IT AND RECEIVED SO MUCH SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. THANKS FOR THE RIDE!

Happy Anniversary to You!!!!!!!
Isn't it amazing how far we have come in only a year??!! It seems like a long journey, but when you stop and think of how long it took to get the way we were, a year is just a quick flash of time. You've done a great job and no matter how you slice it...."Overweight"beats "Morbid Obesity" any day!!! Congratulations and enjoy your success.
Mike
