My first Century!

Yea!!!!!!!!! I finally made the Century Club tonight!!!! I had my surgery 5/2/03 starting at 367 and I am now officially 267! Even with another 130 lbs to lose, this has been an awesome journey so far!!! I can't thank ObesityHelp.com enough. If it weren't for this site, I would never have found the inspiration to seriously consider WLS as a viable option for me. I remember doing a search on "gastric bypass surgery doctor california" back in January and finding one of the surgeon's forums. From there, I clicked on "photos" and then started reading many of the profiles listed here. What hit me was the wonderful success people were having not only in losing weight, but also maintaining weight loss. I was also sooooooo able to relate to so many of your stories, and I realized that there was a "secret" that you all knew about that I didn't know about. Yes, of course that secret was WLS. I went into surgery having a lot of blind faith. I truly suspected that if the surgery could fail anyone, it would be me. But having said this, I also read other people expressing this same fear who had still managed to succeed despite it. Thank you to EVERYONE who has shared a bit of themselves here in ObesityHelp! And thank you to all of the wonderful OH staff and volunteers! You have been and continue to serve as my inspiration! Hugs to all! Caroline
