FROM ONE OF YOUR OWN

I just wanted to be on the record, as saying, even heavyweights can do this! I am so excited about my life these days....I used to be kind of ho hum. I was happy, as far as "good husband, good job, good life",, BUT.   I was so heavy,that I hurt all the time....My knees hurt, my ankles hurt. I would cry from the pain sometimes. Now, my knees have no pain, my ankles are getting better,.I ALWAYS use the stairs now. I dont need the elevator! I started with BMI of 60+. I **think** I am right around 48 right now, & I have just started!!!!! So,If you are a heavyweight, on the fence about WLS, get off the fence!!! & get on the bench!!!!! Much love to everyone!!!

I'm so happy for you that your quality of life has improved so significantly!  It has for me as well... I'm so glad I went on this journey!  :) 

greetings and congratulations!

i'm so glad things are going well for you. isn't it wonderful to be excited about life? i know how you feel. i, too, started out with a bmi of over 66...now it's 23. so, yes, it is possible!

and i used to dread steps -- and now i take them all the time -- cause i can!

all the best to you.

You're right Michelle....even we can do it.  And no one is more pleasantly surprised by that fact than I have been.  I so wish I had not delayed the 2 years I did when I first almost took the plunge.  But I am sooooo glad I finally gave in and did it.  No WAY I could have done this without surgery.  No WAY!  Thanks for reminding us!!  connie

oh...and my husband and I are planning to go to a concert this spring...something we haven't done together in years because seats were a problem for me.  When he asked why I wanted to go, I smiled and said 'because I can now'!  What an amazing feeling!  To be able to live my life again and participate in things.  Makes me teary eyed thinking of all I missed, and all my husband missed because he loved ME.
