Six Month Reflection
6 months ago today, I was barely able to walk. I had high blood pressure, diabetes, an autoimmune disorder which made me have 5 times the normal inflammation in my body, GERDs, asthma, arthritis and pain in every joint in my body at all times. I was a ticking time bomb just waiting for my life to end. I was 44 years old and felt like I was 90. I wanted to walk, dance, play, but all I could do was feel pain all over my body, every day of my life which limited not only my movements but my spirit.
At that time, if someone had told me give me 6 months and I will change your life, I would have thought they were a quack. I would have asked what kind of magic wand they had or more importantly, what kind of drugs they were taking. However, this is just what Dr. Boe and Barix Clinic have done.
Today, on my six month surgiversary, I have lost 102 pounds (85 from the date of surgery, 17 from the pre-surgery liquid diet), 118 1/2 inches over my body, and most importantly I have lost all my health problems and pain. I am like a new woman. I walk, dance, sing, and totally enjoy life. I am living now, not just surviving.
While I still have 28 pounds to lose and various areas of my body to tighten up, I thank Dr. Boe, Barix and of course GOD for turning my life around and making it worth living again. The best part of this journey has been all the incredible friends I have made. They are always right by my side cheering me on, encouraging me when I am down and picking me up if I fall. I couldn't have done any of this without all of them and my family.
So, thank you all for sharing my journey. What a wild ride it has been and will continue to be, but I would not change it for the world.
Luv Ya All,
Linda

You are so right. It has been hard work but definitely worth it. All those days I walked when I really just wanted to lay down on the sofa and rest.........hard work. Learning what foods work for my pouch and what foods don't......hard work. New lease on life......priceless. Glad to have you along on this journey with me. You have been an incredible inspiration.

Linda,
I am so happy for you~ You look beyond words these days you are a sexy hot Momma! Plus I have seen your bad self out on the dance floor all night long.
I will never forget that first pre-op meeting you had come on sat next to me introduced yourself and we have been friends since. You are a true blessing and someone that I am honored to call friend.
We have had so many good times and a few rough spots the last few months with our WOW moments and silly laughs. I can only wait for the next 6 months to see where we are a year from now.
I love you Girlfriend....

It has been truly a blessing to me to have you in my life as a friend. It seems like we go through everything together......from being postponed for surgery at the beginning of our journey to the new found G most recently. I don't know what I would do without you and truly value you. By the way girlfriend......you are looking quite hot your darn self. John even said "Wow, Beth is looking really good."
Luv Ya,
Linda
