2 Year Surgiversary!

Hey, everyone! Today is my 2 year surgiversary. I am so thankful for all of the changes this surgery has brought into my life. I had my 2 year doctor's appt. yesterday, and he told me that I was a poster child for WLS! That made me feel good. Given all of the health/appearance/etc. changes that have happened, one of the best changes has been getting to know so many wonderful people on OH. You guys are my 2nd family, and I love and thank you all! JoAnn

Congrats JoAnn and happy rebirthday. Courtney

Thank you, Courtney! You are looking great! J

Congratulations JoAnn. So -- what was different for the second year compared to the first year?? love donna

Hey, Donna! That's a good question. Physical changes of course slowed down, but the psychological thoughts are pretty much the same. I wonder if they will ever change??? J

Wow! 2 years! And here I am rejoicing at one year! And you are indeed the poster child for WLS and a true example to others!! Congratulations on two years of hard work and success!! Jackie

Thanks, Jackie! You certainly deserve to be celebrating your one year! We have all come so far in this wonderful journey! J

JoAnn, You should feel good -- great in fact. You look fab!!! It is hard to believe you were every heavy (you don't have all the saggy stuff I do for sure). You and Natalie are my inspiration to keep going in the hopes of someday being as petite as either of you. I have enjoyed getting to know you at the Richmond gatherings and look forward to more opportunities. I hope you can get the issues with your back and neck taken care. When you do, I know there will be no stopping you. Best Wishes for your continued success CathyA
