REFLECTIONS OF A YEAR GONE BY!
WELL TODAY MARKS THE ANNIVERSARY OF MY SURGERY. YEAH 1 YEAR AGO TODAY DR BROUSSARD AND COMPANY HELPED ME CHANGE MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER. I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 174LBS WITH 40LBS BEING PRE-OP. THERE ARE THINGS I CAN DO NOW THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD DO AGAIN. I CAN CROSS MY LEGS, TIE MY SHOES WITHOUT FEELING LIKE I AM CUTTING MYSELF IN HALF, ACTUALLY CURL UP IN MY CHAIR WITH A GOOD BOOK, USE THE NORMAL SIZE STALL IN THE RESTROOM, WALK 2 MILES WITHOUT BREATHING HEAVY AND FEELING LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE, STEP ON THE SCALES WITHOUT A SENSE OF DREAD AND WORRY THAT THE STUPID THING WAS GOING TO SCREAM OUT MY WEIGHT AND THEN BREAK, SIT COMFORTABLY IN A CHAIR AT A CONCERT WITHOUT SPILLING OVER IN TO MY NEIGHBORS CHAIR, STAND BEHIND MY HUSBAND AND NO ONE CAN SEE ME, BE MORE COMFORTABLE IN THE "BEDROOM", BE THE SMALLEST PERSON IN MY FAMILY, PAINT MY TOES, ETC.. THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL ACCOMPLISHED. I HAVEN'T REACHED MY GOAL YET BUT I AM ALMOST THERE. I WANT TO THANK KIM, DENISE, AMY, RITA, THOMAS AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR ALL THE HELP AND SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THIS PAST YEAR. ANY TIME I HAD A QUESTION OR CONCERN ONE OF YOU WAS ALWAYS THERE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. NOW WHETHER OR NOT I LIKED THE ANSWER YOU STILL GAVE IT TO ME! YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT AND A GODSEND! DON'T GO AWAY, STAY HERE FOREVER BECAUSE I MAY NEED YOU....NO I KNOW I WILL NEED YOU! THANKS FOR LETTING ME RAMBLE!FOR THOSE OF YOU JUST GETTING STARTED....DO NOT GIVE UP! IT IS SOOOOO WORTH IT! ANY PROBLEMS YOU ARE HAVING NOW WILL GET BETTER AND YOU WILL BE A SUCCESS WITH THIS SURGERY. TAKE CARE EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK!

Congrats! You have had an amazing ride!!! I'm so proud of you and I know your family is as well. Life is good without that other person riding on your back!! I know you'll ready your goal and we know we're not in a race!!! Great job girlfriend!!!
This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
you are welcome! Yes, you did have a rather large person on your back. I bought dog food for my husband several weeks ago and struggled trying to pick up the 50# bag....wowzer!!! Just think over 3 of them babies on your back!!! Awesome!!!

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." Erma Bombeck
