Six years! Wow!
I want to share something here, mostly for those that don't know you the way I have gotten to know you. . .
2 years ago, I came looking for information and support, and I read some of your posts and thought to myself, who is this hardass. . . ? Me being me, I reserved the right to find out more and at the October 2007 Pilmgrimage I sat in your group and heard your story and was totally Wowed and so glad that I had not jumped to the conclusion that you were some self-made guru, with an ego that was as large as your waist once was. . . I am honored to know you! Many good wishes for your continued successing and well with Mary at your side, life should be full of blessings. . . Enjoy this day, as just one of many healthy and I'm sure for you, happier ones!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

congratulations, Norm!! You have been one of the biggest influences on my journey with wls and in every day life. You have been a great friend, mentor, sounding board and all around great, fun loving guy since I met you only weeks after my own surgery. You are always there to lend a helping hand, share in your knowledge and experiences and you are one hell of a straight shooter....you always tell it like it is and I so appreciate and respect that. Your drive and determination is an inspiration to all of us.
Here's to 60 more years of successing!!!
