TODAY IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY SURGERY!!! :-)

I WAS JUST CHECKING SOME EMAIL AND SOMEONE FROM AMOS HAD WROTE AND CONGRATULATED ME AND REMINDED ME TO COME AND UPDATE MY PROFILE. I HAD BEEN SO BUSY TODAY I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT TODAY IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY LAPROSCOPIC GASTRIC BANDING PROCEDURE. I WAS ON A PLATEAU FOR THE LAST TWO TO THREE MONTHS, I WAS VERY DEPRESSED ABOUT IT. LAST THURSDAY I WENT TO A NEW DOCTOR (CHANGED FAMILY DOCS) AND WAS WEIGHED AND WAS 20 LBS DOWN FROM LAST MONTH. I HAD A RETURNING VISIT TODAY, AND JUST SINCE THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK I HAD DROPPED ANOTHER 20 LBS.!!!! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. I AM WEIGHING LESS NOW THAN I HAVE SINCE 15 YEARS OLD. (BY THE WAY I AM 47) STARTING OFF AT OVER 400 LBS, I AM NOW UNDER 300 LBS!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE THAT HAS AN ANNIVERSARY THIS MONTH. I WISH YOU ALL EXCELLENT HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!!!

Happy re-birth day, surgery twin! I can't believe the difference in my life since having my gastric bypass. Congratulations to you on all the hard work over the past year, and keep on keepin' on! Marty
