Wow! Two Month Surgiversary!

I think the fog is lifting, Anita. I guess I walked around in a daze until a few weeks ago. After Christmas, I really started to come alive again! Getting back into grad school, buying clothes again, being a naughty girl! lol All my old self coming back!

That really is incredible...and it's so great that you didn't let weight take over your life again. 30 pounds is great!! Congratulations - happy you're back on track and feeling good!

Oh Ann...I came so close to being right back up to 275 that it scared the doo-doo out of me! Seriously! Then I pulled myself up and got busy learning about the sleeve! And here I am today...196!

Bridget....We all know how quickly the pounds can be packed back on. We've got a lifetime battle going on...but you've won the battle so far...and you're an inspiration. Seriously, who's got the balls (oops, can I say that?) to get a second surgery? I'd so do it in a minute if I lost my band. After the year you had, you really are inspirational. Stay strong and focused..... - Ann

Yeah Bridget! I am so glad the sleeve is working for you! Danielle V.

Thanks, doll! Me too!

Holy, cow! That sure flew by! You're doing just fantastic, hon! You must have some big "Kahunas," having that surgery, afrter all of your probs! Ya got Moxie, Shinn! ha I'm thrilled for you!

Moxie? Nah...I'm just a nutjob! lol Love you, Sharon! BUNCHES!

This is a good group isnt it? They sure love ya! You have a long haul and its so wonderful that after your band tragedy you picked yourself up and moved on. I dont know if I would have the fortitude to do that. Your amazing...and by the way what do VSGers say? We say rockin that band....but you are rockin anyway...

This is THE best group! "They" love me? "You" don't? Methinks I feel a good cry comin' on. Oh, I've probably got more lunacy than sense, honey! Not fortitude. As for what VSGers say...nothing. Not a very spirited bunch. I like them...but just not wild and crazy like we are!
