Thanks, Gina! It's so good to see you here. Thank you for keeping a candle in the window for people like me. I am glad you are here! Thank you for all you do for the newbies and for veterans.

That's great Nicolle. Thanks for sharing. At almost 2 years it is good to hear from the people further out. It's easy to forget that a lot of people just motor along with their DS living their lives.

Thanks, pete. Yes, I am afraid from here on out, your ride gets a little less exciting on the weight-loss front. But it is amazing on the lifestyle front! Sometimes, just sometimes, I forget that I had bariatric surgery. The way people treat me, and the way I treat myself, is so boringly normal--it's wonderful!

take care,

Oh, it is so good to see you! I hope everything is going well for you. Life after the DS so long ago is so wonderfully normal, isn't it?
