That is so awesome. It is so great to see a positive side to Gastric bypass instead of everyone pointing out the downsides. Best of luck to you on a bright future.

Topic: PLEASE everyone help me
Everyone,
Please help me if you can. My sister, Renia suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. She is 39 years old with 3 daughters. She just emailed me this website for a petition to help with the awareness of this disease. I love my sister so much and I don't want to loose her but this is a battle she wont be able to win. I was wondering if you could help spread the word or even put a link for this petition. Please HELP me do this. I feel so helpless because I can't help her. This way maybe I can just a little. Even if you cant do anything with your website, could you please at least sign the petition for me. Every signature helps. Here are the details.
"Slow Suffocation: Increasing Public Awareness of Pulmonary Fibrosis" My sister Renia needs your help, she suffers from this. Please sign the petition
Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 1,000 signatures - please sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/382515892
Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.
Thank you!

Topic: Hey it has been a while
Hey there my fellow Octoberites!
Well it has been what 20 months now since surgery. I have not been on the boards in such a long time. Been so busy with work and a very active little 3 yr old boy at home. I have also started back to school for my Bachelors Degree. Since Surgery I have lost 130 pounds. Life has changed so much for me and all for the better. For the first time since elementary school I have been able to shop in regular sizes. I have gone from a size 28 to a 12/14. I have been able to go back to Hershey Park again and was able to ride every ride and have room to spare in the seat. I went hiking for the first time in my life and was able to go horseback riding. I can not believe the amount of energy I have now, just amazing. Anyway, I hope everyone else is doing well.
Topic: RE: Hello Ladies
I have to confess, I stopped being involved with the group back in October. It was becoming too much for me with everything else that I had going on at the time. I do keep in touch with them via our email group though and I see a few of the members from time to time.
I know what you mean about old habits. It's hard to fight those demons sometimes!

Hello Violet....... I understand about the weight thingy lol, i have been gaining 5 losing 5 lol. But i am happy and i am still trying to adjust to the skinny Vickie. I had to go and get my hair cut off again because i started losing it again. My doc said maybe around my 2 yr mark my body should be adjusted. I am happy with my surgery and i have worked my butt off to get to 117lbs but my good weight is 130lbs and that is where i am heading. I look a little sickly lol. But all in all life is great and i am still married and having fun..........take care and keep on being you and live life!!!!!

Hello Violet, Good to see you. You look wonderfull!!!!My life too is so diffrent and wonderful. Every morning I wake up and wonder if t his fairy tale will be over. Being normal is hard. I too bounce up and down about 5 lbs. Old habbits will creep back. I am lucky I guess I still dump and I still have restriction with food. Are you still involved with the support group you were working with? My doctor has a group once a month and it is good. Anyway just wanted to say HI
