Congratulations Sonja, Pinalope, Gwen & Theresa!

Thanks again DX.  I wi**** had been me but alas it wasn't   I do appreciate you sending people to my profile.  VBG isn't a common surgery and often is said to be the surgery that always fails.  I tried to be proof that it could and would work and hope I have lived up to that expectation.  It hasn't been an easy road and there were days where I did feel like a complete failure but I continued on my path.  Today I am happy, healthier but still have to remember that I can outeat my pouch. I have to remind myself daily that this is a never ending journey.  I will continue to watch what I eat every day for the rest of my life or risk going back to that sad and fearful life I had 7 years ago.

I truly hope to meet one day as you are an inspiration to so many.

Gwen

 Nikki ..  FYI, when yuou click on those members' names (the links), they just take you back to the main forum homepage, rather than to the member's profile ..     I'd like to see who the other three gals are (I know Pinalope already)  .. 

Thanks, Paul. That should, I hope, be fixed soon. Sorry about that! Nikki

Nikki - will there be any pictures or mention of the OH event in Ashburn, Virginia in the next edition? I know there is an army of people here in Virginia anxious to know......

Hi Jackie,

It's so nice to hear from you. :) Yes - there absolutely will be mention and photos. Look for them on page 58 and following. It was wonderful to meet you and so many other DC-area folks at that event and I hope you enjoy seeing a few pictures from our time there. Thanks for asking, and feel free to spread the word.

Best,

Nikki

That is great Nikki - I will tell everyone!  It was great to meet you all then too and hope we see some of you again in October!

Hi Jackie,

Is this magazine sold anywhere near Toronto, Ontario ?  (Canada)   I would love to read this issue, as Pinalope was an inspiration for me too.

Thanks
