FOUR YEARS....TIME FLIES...

Barb,

This WLS journey is incredible. 

Now here's the incredible part... did you ever in your natural born life ever think you'd have something as life changing as WLS?... While no one can guarantee you anything in life, I can tell you that I was okay with the outcome of the surgery, no matter what the outcome was.  I've been minorly inconvenienced a few times... like tonight... I'm throwing up.  It's just part of my make-up now.... I was stupid.  Is it a problem?  Nah, not really.

I've met many of the women on this board and they are great.... we all have our one thing in common... and that's US.

I'm 64 years old... I've just had some plastics... and life is good.  You certainly do have hope for the future.... that's all we can have isn't it?  Hope.

Janet

Congratulations to you on all you have accomplished!
Have a wonderful and happy surgiversary!
It is so encouraging to me to read all that you have done since your
RNY.  I hope that I can follow in your footsteps.

Marcia,

It's just a great ride!!  Thank goodness we get a chance to do it.

Janet

I consider myself honored to have shared the ride with you. You inspire me, you challenge me, you make me look a bit below the surface even when it scares me.

Karen,

By below the surface, you aren't referring to a ride to Tijuana on a little red train are you?  No, wait, you didn't say underground....:)

How could we ever forget our 'dirty angel'... and how could I ever forget your kindness and gentle pushing for ME to take the step to just get on a plane and fly to San Diego when I had no clue where my life was headed.  Let's don't forget Joe who called me while I was eating dinner with Dorothy E at 7:30 p.m. on a Wednesday to tell me he had a pass for me to fly Delta to meet you and be at the airport at 6 a.m. the next day!!!

We have had our 'rides', haven't we?  And I see more in the future.

Thanks for being my friend.... I'm the honored one.

Janet

Janet....congratulations!!

What an inspiration you are.....you have rocked that tool!!

Hugs...connie d
