1) Debbi Barrett

2) RNY   12/10/08

3) 130 lbs. lost

4) My biggest challenge now is that I have become so critical and "*****y" about other people's addictions. Where is the sympathy I should have for people?  My husband's wound from surgery in December heals so slow because of smoking and I have to detach myself because I just want to scream "quit smoking" everytime he comlains of the pain and discomfort-- and my daughter and step daughter always say they want to lose weight but don't eat like they do. I have banned them from bringing junk food and sweets into the house because I am tempted to indulge! They tried sneeking food into their bedrooms and I had a huge ant problem!

5) Energy is my WOW! I am no longer a slug. I am no longer embarrassed that I am fat. I thank God every day for this surgery and all the gifts that come with it!

Amen Sister!!!!!!!
