Stephanie......I'm sooooo happy for you! What a wonderful feeling to be able to finally see yourself as you really are after being buried behind those excess pounds! It's a major adjustment but one that is truly worthwhile. I'm so glad that your immediate family has been so supportive and that we've been able to help in any way we can.
   Bekieve it or not, you are an inspiration to many of us here as well and it's such a pleasure to be able to share this WOW moment with you. You've gone through a lot but the world has suddenly taken on a brighter hue May you continue to have many more days such as this .

Hi, my name is Debbie and I have been lurking here for quit some time, as you can see by my "member since" date. I do not know why I have waited so long to post but this "wow" moment was one I just could not go without saying WOW for you!! I am so happy for you and I am looking forward to the day I can look in the mirror and be that happy. I am currently going through all the pre op appointments, my next step is to get an appointment with the surgeon.  I read all your posts almost every day and I must say you are all an inspiration, as I have lost 30+ pounds myself since my first meeting with the nut at the end of March. I hope no one here takes offense to my lurking I ment not disrespect. I was just absorbing all the information and support sources I could. I must say in all my internet travels this is by far the most supportive friendly group of people I have come across. I will continue to look to all of you for support and guidence.

Hi Debbie,
Welcome and I am so glad my personal WOW moment brought you out from just lurking.  I think we all started out as lurkers.  I still lurk on a few boards.   Please feel free to contact me privately or via the boards if there are any questions I might be able to answer for you or if you just need an ear to listen.  We are all here to help.
Congratulations on your 30 lb loss!!  That's a great accomplishment.
Hugs,
Stephanie
