I had my 2 year follow up appointment

Thank you!

Congrats Barb...You are such a wonderful inspiration to everyone....

Thank you!

Being healthy is what its all about and you have certainly achieved that. I am happy to have been a fly on the wall this last year through OH and our monthly support meetings witnessing your success so far. Thanks for bringing all of us together so that we can shore each other up and for being such a good leader. I know you will continue to work on all those issues that many of us have with food and continue to lead the way showing us ways to deal with them as well. I think many of us have been more successful because of you Barb.

Hi Ann,

I want you to know that I appreciate the support that I get from you as well. We are all so much stronger when we stand together... I appreciate your standing with me. 

 

Barb you are a wonderful success story and an inspiration to the rest of us here on NC OH.  You are beautiful inside and out.  Thank you for sharing your success with us.  (((HUGS)))

Lisa,

Thank you for your compliments and support. 

You are looking wonderful. I hope that you are feeling as good as you look.

Wishing you continued success,

Barbara,

I am so proud of you!! How is hubby doing?? You keep up the great work. You are an inspiration and truly a wonderful person inside and out. With or without the weight loss you are a beautiful person. I really had a hard time to begin with, taking the compliments....Oh, you look great NOW!! I want to say what did I look like before...I am glad for the weight loss and the healthier life style. I went to the zoo with my 3 year olds preschool on Friday and had to keep up with 5 of them and I could do it.  I think back 6 months ago, it would have made me out of breathe. It was a breeze this time. We are planning a disney trip with the kids for June and I am so excited to have more energy. We went last April and at 263 pounds it was hard to go all day for 4 theme parks. I am down to 182 today and I am so excited...I am just overweight now. I started at a BMI of 42 and now am a 29..I have my 6 month visit June 11. I hope they think I am doing great as well. My sister and brother in law went to a seminar on May 8th and are planning to have RNY. That was one of my goals was to inspire my sister. She is over 340 pounds and I am so scared to lose her. I love her and want her to be healthy for herself and her kids. Sorry, I just am rambling on and on.

Hope to see you soon!

Barb, your 2yr report gives us all hope that as we get further out and encounter troubles and struggles, we can press on and continue to be successful!

I know I am further out than you, but your encouragement, sharing, and leadership in our support groups has been an integral part of my progress in the past year.

Thank you for leading us all to pay it forward and help others as they progress through their journeys.

I pray you continue to meet and exceed your goals!

Congrats Barb on your 2 year surgiversary!!!!!!!! You have done such an excellent job!
