Congratulations on your baby and thank you so much for sharing your life with DS.

For those of us looking for revision to DS it's good to hear from vets and know we can have a good life after surgery.

Thanks!!

Cindy this was a wonderful update. You have been a huge inspiration to me. I remember when I clicked on your picturetrail link one day. It brought tears to my eyes to know that this success was really possible. Congrats on your success and the new addition to your life. Enjoy it because they grow up Sooo fast....

In order to succeed, you must proceed.

Cindy, you are such an inspiration! I remember watching intently on how you did with your DS wondering if I would have a similar outcome since we started at a similar weight/BMI. I remember when you got below 200 pounds, and when you got married, and announced your pregnancy.. I feel like you're a member of my virtual family in a way. I'm SO happy for everything you accomplished over the last 4 years and especially for the quality of life and joy you've gained. I can't wait until your little one is born! It's hard to imagine you could get any prettier, but I know the addition of your baby in your arms is going to bring you glow even more!

Congratulations Cindy! *hugs* and *high five*
