:jump: Back at thinking of all us.

WOW We made a Year plus a couple months!!! Looking back - we had a lot of weigh ins...we had ups/downs..we had laughs -crys and scares! Yet we all persevered...Proving that this tool has certainly helped.. Looking back: Allthough I had setbacks If I was heavier::: when I fell last October- I probably would have broken my leg instead I tore a ligament and was able to rehabiliate through excercise and PT... If I was heavier ::: this July I may have protected some of my ribs or could have done more damage- I lived through it and am mending. For the most part just FEELING BETTER and BEING POSITIVE..BEING LIGHTER IN WEIGHT is reason enough to be greatful for this wonderful tool... Any one else agree or disagree that the weight loss helped get you through some moments...

I have had some werid surprises with this surgery. Ok for one my butt hurts when I sit on a hard chair. Guess I lost all my butt fat. I got in a car accident and i bruised my collor bone. Before you could never even see it much less bruise it. So I lost some padding. My husband is jealous as he can be. never was that way before. Ok it does n't help that the guys at his work call me a hottie. But I feel like for the first time I am able healthy and strong. I went though a seperation cause my husband did not support me in my decision to have this surgery. But now I feel like I am a stronger partner. I still have stresses in my life. But I haven't had a anxienty attack in a year and i no longer have sleep apnea, or high blood pressure. i think this surgery made me healthy enough to be able to physically deal with stress.

We sound similar... I know the feeling of NO BUT... I lost mine as well. I also went off all meds for high blood pressure, high cholesterol. We both had a car accident...ooww I know I have reduced anxiety because I feel better about myself... Keep up the good work and stay strong...
