8 Years Ago Yesterday....
Well done! I too thought those legs were a model's. Hey, earn money doing leg work for advertising! Your plastics would be paid for PRONTO!
Thank you for sticking around. It would be easy to get so busy living life that you don't get on OH anymore. It' is such a help for the rest of us that you make the time.

Congrat on the 8 years...and the damn awesome legs.

Patty - you are one of the DS'ers that I have consistently looked up to as a role model. I've always sought out your posts, because your advice has always been practical, informative and encouraging. Congratulations on being so "normal" for all these years!

Thank you for hanging around and paying it forward. I appreciate you telling us that this is not a free ride, and that we might have to work for it. Sorry for anything that's happened to you by a fellow OH member. That just sucks and remember.....what comes around. I saw you said you were waiting. I've got one that I've been waiting YEARS on also. It will happen.....this keeps me sane sometimes!!! Hugs.

Congratulations on your 8-year surgiversary, Patty! I appreciate you sharing your recovery journey as I too, will be seeing Dr. Buchwald Sept. 6 for my RNY to DS revision surgery. Just knowing you're doing as well as you are 8 years out makes me feel that much more confident in my decision to go with Dr. B. And I do agree with the other posters, you've got great looking legs. I only hope mine will look as good in time...right now they they more or less resemble tree trunks! So glad you're happy and healthy 8 years out and that your experience with Dr. D. went so well!
Warmest wishes,
Lisa
