One Year Ago

Last year this time I was the surgery that would change my life and start me on my journey to a new me. At that time I had no idea of the enormous effect that my decision to have WLS would have on my life and that of my family. Everyone has gotten healthier, we all exercise, and we are all label readers now. I am thankful that I had the surgery when I did b/c I don't think I would have the energy that I have now as I care for my Mom since her stroke. I am also very thankful for Dr.Shawn Garber and the staff at the New York Bariatric Group for all they did to help me in my journey from the very onset in July 2004. I must admit that I am very proud of myself and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
