8/24/06* 226.2/132.1 (-94.1) at 3:49 pm. This is the exact day, hour and minute I was approved for WLS one year ago. I don't know why I looked at my clock just now, but I did and I happen to be sitting in the same spot at work. Really strange. Nevertheless, the absolute happiest day of my personal life, since I was never married or had a child. The scary part is that my surgery was scheduled for the next morning at 6:00am. WOW, what a diffrence a year makes. For anyone who is reading this now, this is the single best decision I have ever made for myself. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you on the OH messageboards and in my local support group. You are my rocks each and every one of you. Because of you, I never felt so alone. YOU ALL HAVE GIANT SIZED HEARTS AND THANK YOU FOR PICKING ME UP EACH TIME I WAS DOWN! Yes, tomorrow is my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY and it feels so good. I didn't expect to fee this joy right now, but I do. Thank you all!!!!!

Hugs, Pat
