Congratulations Laura, your post is very inspiring. I am looking forward to some of the NSV you mentioned. I hardly have any pictures of myself because I hate seeing myself. Keep up the great work and keep sharing.

Thank you.... you will be there before you know it and joining in on the many NSV's. It happens quicker then ya think. I am now finding my summer clothes that I hoped and planned I could use this year as they were too small the past few ...now are too big.
Enjoy the journey and I am always willing to answer questions or talk about experiences. However we are all different as what may upset my pouch will be fine with yours.
All the best!!
Hi LauraLeaFan,
This is great news. Your are so inspiring and encouraging. Thanks for that! There are a few of us here that are so close to having surgery, and I know we appreciate all of the information. By the way, I think I met you at the Burlington/Hamilton group the last time you were there. I was sitting beside you!

Well said Laura! Congrats to all your victories, you are doing an amazing job (also Doug) you both look amazing! Sounds like u have a great man to help u through all the new things life has to bring u! My clinic hasn't set up an appointment for my 4 month mark which I find weird, I don't go bac****il Aug.16th which sucks! I think I'm doing pretty good and haven't had any dumping yet either. I can't believe how many compliments I get from everyone especially from the teachers fro. My childrens school! I almost feel weird to hear it looks ( so not use to it yet)! Glad to hear u r doing great and keep it up! Take care hospital roomy!
