Saying Hi!
Hey,
A friend of mine is having lap band surgery next week. It got me to thinking that I haven't look at this site in ages!
I thought I would stop in for a quick Hi! 
A quick update... my surgery was July 26, 2005 and to date I have lost 113 lbs. I am just 6 lbs over my recommended weight for my height. And I still seem to be loosing in really really really small amounts. I honestly, in my best case idea of outcome, never thought I would be this small.
I was one of the "slow loosers" which is one of the reasons I quit coming to the site. I would be so happy with my progress...and then I would come here and feel like I was WAY behind. It silly, I know now!
I had to have a physical a week or so ago. And I had to check all those boxes of "health issues that I have ever had". Just checking ALL those boxes reminded me, yet again, just HOW unhealthy I was. And better yet...NOT ONE of those boxes I checked is something I have today!! I have literally NO medical issues at all right now! 
I feel great!!! And having the surgery is still the best decision I ever made for myself!
Hope you are all equally doing as well. I am going to go browse the site and see how you have all been doing!

Hi Linda. Good to hear you are doing so well. I am glad you know you should not compare your progress to others, but I think that is human nature. How cool is it to have all those health issues crossed off the list of life? A couple of days ago I was cleaning out my wallet and come across a card my pcp had given me to fill out all my meds I take daily because there were so many I would have a hard time remembering when I saw another doctor. Well, I looked at it and realized I am not taking any of them at all anymore! that was a great feeling. You take care and come around more often. Best wishes to your friend on her upcoming surgery!
