The Gift...

This is a good day to think about the gift that you've been given with your weight loss surgery.  I  am constantly thankful that the CHRIAS surgeons (Irgau, Wynn, and Peters) provided me with the tool to save my life and allow me renew my life.  Without the surgery I probably wouldn't be around to post all these notes on the DE forum.  Hope you take the time to appreciate the opportunity that you have been provided.

Saving the DE forum one post at a time.

Rob,
I absolutely consider my surgery a gift.  A gift to myself.  As a former large person, I always did for others.  Never for myself, ever.  This surgery was a gift that I have given to myself and myself only.  Not trying to sound greedy.  I just never splurged on anything for myself.  (kids always come first)  For me, this was a once in a life opportunity and I appreciate every moment that I have been given.  I still can't believe I had the nerve to follow through, get all the clearances and have the surgery.  So not like me.  But lovin' every second of it!
