Thanks for response to 9t month stats

I just want to thank each of you brave souls for responding to my stat post. I almost didn't post it because I worried people would think I was being prideful. But I prayed and felt like it would encourage people to know this surgery does work and not just in pounds but inches where the biggest impact is anyway. And you guys proved that you do love and care about each other. I am so proud to be part of this board and you April WLS friends are the best!!! May the Lord continue to bless your journey and may He continue to give strength and hope and wisdom to the ones researching and waiting for WLS. In Christ's love, Joan M

Joan, We should be proud! We've taken the gift that was given us and ran with it and we've had some wonderful results, results that just give us the impetus to go as far as we can with it. And all of us understand what every other one is going through since we all started out overweight and we all got our gift around the same time. I think there's a difference in being proud of what we've accomplished and being boastful. I appreciate all the posts that you make and all the encouragement that you give to us! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Sue

Thanks..I posted on another baord and not one person responded...they all responded to an off color comment by someone but not to my post. So you guys here are exceptional. In His love, Joan M

I didn't respond because I've never taken my measurements. I just pay attention to how my clothes fit and like to see the sizes dropping. It is nice that I've never seen anyone get jumped all over here We're a nice bunch. Lizzie

I agree Lizzie...and it doesn't matter if you respond or not to the measurement part but just that you responded at all is wonderful. Thanks...and I do think this group is amazing the amount of love and sincere care that is shown here. Boy I hope no one jumps all over me....that hurts..not only our bodies but our hearts Joan M

WE ARE a wonderful bunch, arent we? . I am also proud to be part of this group, and I couldn't have pick a better bunch of people to have as my WLS family. Each one of us are so AWESOME. Thanks everyone for being a friend, and caring. Love Kathleen

Joan, our April WLS friends are a great group. I have had negative replies on another board and don't feel as comfortable sharing with them as I do with all of you. Thanks for being there. Sher
