Darling Jennifer ...  You have made my whole day brighter.   Thank you so much for remembering this day, in such a sweet and special way.  Of course, it's a day I will never forget .. the day everything changed for me! But speaking of "proud" ... I can hardly wrap my brain around the changes YOU have made over the course of the last year.  It's simply INCREDIBLE.  You look amazing, you're a dancing fool, you're in "low-rise" jeans ... you inspire the hell out of me! One thing hasn't changed though, and for that I'm thankful.  You are still the same funny, warm, friendly, sweet girl that came to visit me in the hospital last year.  I love you so! Thank you!

dawn, you made me cry!  your last comment was the best compliment anyone could of ever given me.. Thank you so much.. And TODAY IS YOUR DAY!!! STOP COMPLIMENTING OTHER PEOPLE!!!   Youre so freakin sweet!!!! and THAT is why we love you! You are the most genuine nice person that i know! ENJOY TODAY YOU DESERVE IT!

HAPPY SURGIVERSARY WOW IT HAS BEEN A YEAR HARD TO BELIVE YOU HAVE COME SO FAR ,PROUD OF YOU & YOU LOOK GREATTTTTT

Thank you Becky! It IS hard to believe it's been a year ... it really flew.  I know I made a good decision when I decided to have the surgery, but I never knew I'd make such wonderful new friends in the process. I think you look great, too!  You're beautiful, inside and out.

Congratulations Dawn!!!  I 'm so happy for you and you have come such a long way.  I've truly been blessed to get to know you during this past year.  You look great

I'm glad to know you feel blessed by my friendship ... because I feel exactly the same way about knowing you, Rachel. Thanks, honey!

Happy Surgiversary Dawn! Go**** seems like yesterday that I met you at my first UPS meeting, how time flies. Like Jen said you have been an inspiration to me and so many others. You have come a long way "hot nanna", your beautiful inside and out. Thank you for everything, easing my fears, making me laugh and giving me the encouragement to have this surgery done, and all your kind words over the past 10 months. Your the greatest! Mary

Aww thanks Mary!  I wish we could spend more time together ... I keep saying it'll happen one of these days!

Getting to know you and your wonderful husband has been one the highlights of the last year for me.  And now watching your beautiful transformation as your weight drops is so much fun.  (I know you've been frustrated over the slowness of it all ... but Mary, it IS dropping.  You're looking so pretty!) Thanks again for the wonderful note ... it means so much to me!
