My 2 year Surgiversary

Today is the 2 year anniversary of the third most important event to EVER take place in my life.  Having WLS is only surpassed by my marriage to Clay 25 years ago and the birth of my daughter Hailey.  There has been no other event in my life that’s had a more dramatic impact.I have reached GOAL and have lost 100% of the excess weight I carried prior to surgery.  That in itself is a remarkable feat but the most IMPORTANT thing that has occurred due to my WLS is the friendships I have formed.  I can honestly say I never knew what TRUE friendship was until I met you guys.  I can’t believe it too****il I was in my 50’s to REALLY have “girl” friends.   Thank you for “getting” me, loving me for who I am, and for always being there for me.  I really DO love you guys more than my scale.

Happy Surgiversary Girlfriend!!!

I'm so glad you finally met me... .. Umm, I mean that something like SURGERY brought us and so many others together, for a remarkable bond.

I love you (and Clay and Otis and Percy and Opal) more than the scale too!

Congratulations on two fantastic years.  Your words here seem to really hit home for me, like many of your posts have in the past.  Thanks for sharing your success with the newbies because it keeps us motivated.  

It was fantastic meeting you F2F yesterday at Dr. Bs and I hope this year is as successful for you in your continued maintenance. 

I weighed 313 pounds on December 1, 2008 the day of my RNY surgery and have lost 81% 
of my excess body weight to-date.                                        Current as of November 1, 2009
OH Mini-Challenge Goal for New Year's Day is 170 pounds. 11 pounds to go!

Happy 2nd rebirthday to you Stephanie!  I wish you continued success along your journey and I am so anxious to meet you in September!

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
