Merry Christmas KP and all!!!!!!

This journey we call WLS is difficult at best. We all have our own stories to tell. Some of us are more successul than others and we all have our deamons to deal with. I started my journey with no specific agenda or expectation. I only wanted to be more healthy. Out of the blue, developed a relationship with another WLS patient that truely nailed it in the world of reality. He was genuine, spoke from the heart and pulled no punches. He keeps me humble and keeps me on track. I don't give a DAMN about other people on this board who don't like his presence on this board because they don't want to hear the truth. KP is the BOMB. I love him like a brother and wish you the best Christmas ever and a Happy New Year. Thank you for your companionship, support and encouragement to those that have followed us. You are truely a legend for the WLS community and I am a better person for having the priviledge of knowing you. God Bless! Jon

First of all Jon, Merry Christmas!! This time last year I was only three months out and really didn't know how to handle my first 'major' holiday. If it weren't for you, KP and so many others, I don't know where I'd be today. KP can be funny one moment and serious the next. You, KP and others have given me advice when I asked for it - sometimes blunt but to the point. I need that to keep me in line. I wish all here on the board the very best this holiday season and thank you all for being there when I needed you (and probably will for a LONG time)!!

I'm not on so much any more but I would just like to ditto that my WLS brother! Merry Christmas to all.

Jon, have you been drinking??? (Just kidding! Had to throw that one in for KP's sake!) Yes, you, Kevin and many others have helped me along the way. Compassionate, stern, straight-forward, kind, helpful, the list goes on...all of which I needed at the time. Yes, I still have my demons and I struggle alot, but I know I have you guys in my corner. I know how you feel, Jon. A big Merry Christmas to you and KP, as well as everyone else on here! I love you all! Theresa

I ain't got no presence, the stores are all closed. Thank you Jon. That was a nice surprise. This doesn't mean we're gonna be swappin spit to the wee hours of the morning. kp

DANG!! I was lookin' forward to some manlove, you know Bariatricback Mountain!

something like that was said in HeartBreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood but that was about showers and I don't think I want to invision either of those thoughts!!! Happy late Holidays to you all!!!

I was quoting a stooges line. Heartbreak Ridge is too deep for Jon. kp

Too funny- I was looking forward to that movie too! Merry Xmas, Happy New Year and best wishes for all other assorted holidays that people celebrate. I started popping on to the Michigan board looking for info on HFH- and I keep coming back looking for posts by KP. Keep up the good work- you make the whole process seem less worrisome! Deborah
