Hi everyone

Well last night was my graduation ceremony. The hospital that I had my surgery has a graduation ceremony every year. It was held at the Embassy Suites--what a lovely place. There were 101 graduates. The requirements for graduation are to be at least a year out and at your goal weight. It is very nice. There is a nice dinner and a DJ. There are four doctors that do the surgery at St. Vincent's, and they each present their graduates. As your name is called you walk across a long stage your before and after pictures are projected on a large screen with the total amount you have lost. They handed us roses as we walked across. My doctor hugged me, and I whispered in his ear that I had actually lost another 8 and a quarter pounds--LOL--and he announced it too...lol...my husband had dared me--too funny--everyone was laughing. I had an amazing time, and just wanted to share a picture. I hope this is how to do it

Thanks everyone, Tracy 328/159/155 I have lost 169 pounds...can that be right

Tracy, you have done amazingly good. I think that is so nice that your doctors do that. That is so sweet. They must really understand how we feel. You look so beautiful. It must have been a wonderfun, fun night. Congratulations!!!
