TWO YEARS! TWO HUNDRED POUNDS! Thanks Dr C!!!

I am truly blessed to have found Dr Curry, who has no idea how much he has changed my life. If someone would have told me that I would lose 200 pounds and have the life that I only dreamed was out there, I would have sadly shaken my head, and thought, not for me. But it is real, and I do have a terrific life, and am doing all of the things that I used to just dream about. THANK YOU DR CURRY for giving me the one thing that I always truly wanted and never believed that I could have. YOU have saved my life and given me more then you will ever know. I thank God everyday for leading me to this site and you. Happy happy ME! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

Happy Anniversary to you indeed Cathy!!! What an amazing accomplishment - you should be so incredibly proud of yourself! You're amazing and a true inspiration to those of us still "in the process" somewhere (if that's what you want to call me. ) melissa

Thank you Melissa! And how is that beautiful baby of yours doing?

Cathy, I just read your log about achieving 200 lbs.! That is incredible! I too believe God led me to this procedure. One of my surgeons is the mom of a kid on my son's football team. At a pool party this summer, she told me about the lap band. I can't believe I have never heard of it. She was and is an angel, guiding me thru this. I could never get a handle on my weight. Everything else in life was good, quit smoking 16 yrs ago, great husband, 3 wonderful sons, love my job is sales but I was a total failure in the weight area. Having been slim until my 3rd child, I remember what thin felt like. Men smiled as they passed, truckers tooted their horn, people were just nicer! Then, when I got heavy I became invisible. People were not mean exactly, they just didn't see me. Maybe part of it was my shame so I didn't look people in the eye either, but now I am looking forward to looking on the outside, the way I feel on the inside. You are an inspiration!

Never having been thin I never knew how men would stare and suddenly want to be my "friend". I find it funny that just because the outside has changed that people suddenly view me as a "real person". I now pity them for missing the opportunity to be someone that I would want to know. You'll get there. As for me, I am just happy that I can LIVE a Life that I never truly believed that I would have. Thanks for your kind words. I truly appreciate them.

Cathy Congrats you have done A great job.And happy Anniversary DR.Curry is A great surgeon he has also changed my life best of luck to you Michael

Cathy, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !!!!! And you are so blessed. Wonderful to hear such cool news. And again......... HAPPY ANNIVERSARY !! Hugs, xox gayle

Cathy, I only played a very small role in your success - you owe youself a huge pat on the back!! Dr. C

While you may think your role small, I view it as the answer to every prayer and daydream that I ever had. There are children in my life who I now believe I will see grow up and become adults. I believe my niece now worries less about my health and knows that I will be here for her. My sister and I have become closer because I think she realized that I was miserable and she was here when I needed her. Although there was a time when she was eating a candy bar in front of me and I wanted to smack her silly! No, I really don't believe that you give yourself enough credit for what you give back to the people who know that you saved their lives. I will never be able to thank you enough for the life that your skills has allowed me to have.

Happy Anniversary Catheu. You are an inspiration. I am so happy for you. Hugs, Darlene
