One Year Post-Op Visit
First I want to thank all of your who wished me a Happy First Surgiversary!! It means the world to me to be in such a caring group of people.
Second, there is no way I could have made it through this year without all of you out here on the boards - I have never met a closer, friendlier bunch of 'strangers' in my life, and with your encouragement through the tough times and your support and love through the good ones you have really made this a fabulous year for me.
Dr. Boe was very pleased with my progress and my bloodwork was fantastic again!! Everything right where it should be including my B12. I'm feeling great - hair is growing back really good now (looks like I have a ton of split ends but its the new stuff coming in!), and I feel better than I have in 30 years.
I am 33 lbs away from my goal and Dr Boe says it is entirely attainable, so now is the time to pump up the exercise and get my arse moving so I can get the rest of this 'fluff' off my body.
So thank you all so much for being in my world and for helping this make one of the best years of my life!!

I am so proud of you! I hope I can mirror your footsteps through my first year journey.
I am so happy I stumbled upon this board. I do believe I wouldnt be as successful with my journey without it. I feel so close to all of you and I'm honored to be considered your friend.
I pray that one day I get the chance to meet all of you!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup2.gif)
