Wow. I can't speak (which is rare!). Thank you for your kind words SweetRide. I am so happy that I have been an inspiration. It keeps me going and yes I have a feeling that the hardest part is yet to come! Looking forward to seeing you again!

Barb,
Your story of your journey is so inspiring. I too have followed you from the beginning and have followed many of your suggestions along the way.
In the very first orientation day at Hamilton they brought in a speaker who talked about her WLS experience. I think you should consider doing something like this because you are the true picture of what WLS success is. Keeep it up and thank you!
