I wake up every morning with a thankful heart. I remember really well the anxiety and fears that I had this time a year ago. I was afraid of my deteriating health and also fearful of the surgery that I hoped would help the situation. Today, I am actually below my goal weight and have a BMI of 20; I am prescription RX free; my labs and BP all normal. Yes, I wake up every morning with a thankful heart! LuvitsunnyV@goal

Happy anniversary Ruthanna! What a great perspective and attitude you have! I thrilled to read that this surgery has been successful for you in not only losing the weight but giving you such a healthy and happier life. I so remember the anxiety and fears as well and like you, have a very thankful heart for everything that has happened over the past 11 months. Take care, and enjoy your special day. Congrats also for reaching goal so soon; I can't wait to get there too! Kim 347/168/???

When I think back to how I was a year ago....boy, am I glad I decided to go this route. What a difference in my life. I am so much happier and healthier. I have my appointment with the surgeon on the 24th and he will decide whether it's to be minor or major surgery, but whatever the outcome, I am healithier now. Having less fat in the breast area has made it so much easier to see the areas effected, so says the radiologist and my PCP. So, they found whatever it is, very easily and early. I am so grateful to the doctors and nurses who helped me through the bypass decision and am so glad I did it and would do it again, in a heartbeat. Nona

Hi there Ruthanna, How are you? Congradulations to you on your great sucess with WLS. You have done great. I also have a very thankful heart. Making this decision was no mistake to me at all. I have been at goal and I am very happy. I now have lost 112 pds and now I am weighing 133 lbs. I am 5ft6 and just look great. . I am shocked I just said that "Yes I look great" I have been in therapy and now I am just getting to know this new tall Size 6 gal. Can you believe our anniversary is coming. You and I had surgery the same date. I am happy you are great and your health is good also. I am off of 18 pills and insulin. Life is great and you enjoy it also. Please keep in touch and lets celebrate our day OK? Take care Ruthanna..... & Lorraine
