Topic: I am 1 year old today!!!
Today is my new re Birthday. I started at 311, day of surgery 296. I have lost 145 pounds. I wore size 28 pants 4x tops and a lot of old outdated clothes. Today I am wearing size 10 jeans medium tops but the most important and thrilling part about his wonderful journey is
I am healthy. All my labs are normal, I only take vitamins, 2 a day. I live to make good decisions. I think that is what it is about. Temptation is there, it is hard but I never want to be in that dark place again. Thank you for all the support. My family, is the best. It means the most to have your support, I could never have done it without you. I also thank everyone here at Obesity Help. This is where I did my research. This is where I found Dr. Tom. Again Thanks a lot. I hope anyone thinking about this learns everything they can before you do this. This is a trade off for many life threatening illnesses and I was given , in sense, a different medical problem, but one that I have control over and will make me healthy.

Topic: Re: Tomorrow 10-18 is my 1yr anniversary
Hi all,
I can't believe it's been 1yr already. Time goes by so fast. Thanks to all who've sent me messages over the last year. They meant alot to me and they still do. I can't believe how many nice and caring people on this site I met. I hope we can continue for many many more years.
I see my surgeon on 10-19, not looking forward to it. I was hoping to be down more, but I guess what I've lost i'll keep. This year will be a bit different for me, I spent my 5th wedding anniversary (10-22) still in the hospital recovering. This year my 6th wedding anniversary I am going out to a nice restaurant and going to enjoy myself as I have alot to enjoy. There is alot less of Lisa this year.
I'll post again on Thursday to tell you about my surgeons and nutritionists visit I have.I promise some day soon, when I can get a camera that works, I will post a new pic of me.
For all those that have birthdays/anniversarys coming up. Congrats and best wishes for another safe and skinny year.
Love to all of you

I hope everything goes ok today, I'll be praying you will find the reason for the pain!
Topic: RE: what can cause...........
Sorry to hear you are still having problems, just keep calling the doctor and tell him something has to give and if you don't get results from him find another one. Don't give up because you have come so far.
