TEN YEAR Anniversary...
Well, it's been ten years for me. Wow. Back on this board, where it all began... I don't get back here much. Life gets in the way. I'd love to report great things, but am not able to. I had 9.5 great years and would not trade them for the world. It was a quality of life I had never had. Other medical conditions have crept in and riddled me helpless a lot of times and I've lost a lot. I mean, a lot... But I've learned to live for the Now, because that's all we really ever have. I smile every day for what I have, my kids, my grand daughter, and I'm still above the earth, still kickin'!!! I would do it all over again, and again. I hope to find cures for what ails me, but if not, I'll continue to live for the moment, and the next, and the next.
I still can't believe it's been ten years. Wow!!!

Live life today like there is no tomorrow!!!!!
Congrats Adasha. I've been on these messageboards now for about 9 yrs. I've never left but so many others have. These forums are not what they use to be that is for sure and I'm sure you can tell that also by the activity. I'm almost 8 yrs. post op WLS. Happy Surgiversary to you and please come around more often.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

ADASHA-
Happy Surgiversary!!! So nice to see your smiling face!!! Sorry to hear you are having a rough time of things, though. How can we help? There are so VERY, VERY mighty prayer warriors here. on the TMB-I have witnessed the results time and time again-totally awesome children of God!
What's new with you? How's your anemia? The fibro? Your migraines? Is your weight holding steady?
I've been a bit "upside down", in my own life lately, but am back-OH and TMB wise-TODAY. I have never "left", in nearly 12 years, and have never taken an "on purpose" break, but seem to start slacking, and one day leads to another...then it becomes a week, and I don't get done what I MEANT to do, despite my good "intentions"...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post again and catch us up!!!
