Wouldn't Change A Thing

I had my last monthly visit with my surgeon last week. I can't believe that it has been a year since my surgery. The changes that I have experienced within this past year are unbelievable, and I don't just mean my weight, I mean my overall confidence level has increased, my outlook on life has improved, and my new favorite colour is pink. Never in a million years would I have ever thought that this would be a favorite colour. As I have mentioned before, my husband and children are healthier as a result of my WLS. t is so amazing to see how we have all taken on a healthier lifestyle, them Tae Kwon Do 3x a week, me on the treadmill 6-7 days a week and 5-6 on the Total Gym I'm also enjoying the compliments that I have been receiving, and it is so much fun when people don't recognize me, which has been happening a lot lately. Finally, once again I must thank Dr.Garber and his staff for all that they have done for me. I have received nothing but courteous, considerate and professional care from day one. It is great to receive praise and compliments from your surgeon and his partner, and it was especially nice when Donna his PA called me skinny ( an adjective that has never been used to describe me) when I was there on 10/6. I have said it befire and I will probably say it a thousand more times, if I had to make this decison again I would gladly do it again, and would not change a thing

It is an amazing thing when you can make a healthy change in your life as well as your family's life. I am glad to hear your physician as well as his staff treats you kindly. Unfortunantly I haven't been all that lucky but oh well. My surgeon is still a nice guy so getting past his staff is worth it. LOL I love skinny, even if I don't believe them. Glad to hear pink is your new favorite color. I never thought I wouldn't wear black and I try to stay as far away from it as I can. Maybe when I get to terms with the fact that I am not going backwards I will add some more black into my clothing but I will take my time. I hope everything continues to go so well for you and for your family. Keep up the great work. Shannon
