I know that many of us say that this surgery has changed our life and for many of us it has changed in a big and different degree. I tell you almost 11 months ago I could NEVER have imagined my life would be this way. The most exciting thing happened to me yesterday. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to run all over the neighbourhood yelling. Just a little over a week ago I was informed that my current job was needing a manager in our department. (I'm only part time right now) I thought hard about applying, then I realized that for this position they wanted someone with a BA degree, I said awe what the heck, so I applied.... Yesterday I get a phone call.... They want me to be placed in the supervisor position for a three month "interim". He said they felt confident in my work and how I've being working with them so far. Basically wanting to see if I can handle this job. Anyhow all I can say is I'm very excited. This is my first full time job like this in a few years. I use to be a sales manager. Kenneth and I use to own our own business, so the experience was there, just no degree I can't believe this has happened to me. This is my dream job!! I was so low, so depressed over a year ago. There were days I never thought I'd get my life back. Now I've been given this wonderful new chance at life. I feel normal again. I feel so good about things in my life right now, I just NEVER imagined this would happen for me. I kept pushing myself to do the best I could and it's paid off. All I can say is don't ever give up on your dreams. I wanted to so many times and now I have my life back. Had it not been for the love and supportive I've got from this site, I know I probably would have give up. People lifted me up while I was down, and I can never thank everyone enough for what they have done for me or what my surgeon did. Amy 615/343/Healthy -272lbs

Wow...what a testament to WHY WLS is so necessary. I hope at a point you'll be one of the people that might be called to testify before congress if the fight has to go there to enable us to LIVE! I can only see more and more good things happening to you and for you Amy.

I would certainly go before congress on this. The surgery gave me a chance I other wise would not have had. Amy
