Thanks Meggie.  I have tried to follow your story, and if you can say what you said with such enthusiasm, that puts a really bright perspective on things.

Honey, I have had arough couple of years. As I tellmy surgeon I am just "special"! mI warned him before surgery that if anything weird could happen it would happen to me...he now finally believes me. When I take my life pre WLS and compare it to life now, there is no question that it was worth it!! Its the little things that count like:

fitting in a public bathroom stall
flying without a seatbelt extender
looking straight down and seeing my feet
being able to sit anywhere in a resaurant and not worrying   about breaking a chair or just not fitting
I can shop anywhere
I can walk on my husbands back when he needs chiropratic care, in fact I am really too light for it to really help him!!
I can get up and down off the floor
and on and on and on

Plus I have met all the wonderful souls on this board and they are the best chosen family anywhere!!

Gina, We can meet one day next week at Starbucks. Give me some times and days that will work for you. Tuesday evenings I have something going on but other than that I am pretty open.

I can't even put into words what you mean to me so suffice it to say~I love you like a SISTER!  We are definately 2 peas from the same pod whether that be good or bad.  I can't imagine how empty my life would be had I never met you.
