Congrats Adasha. I've been on these messageboards now for about 9 yrs. I've never left but so many others have. These forums are not what they use to be that is for sure and I'm sure you can tell that also by the activity. I'm almost 8 yrs. post op WLS. Happy Surgiversary to you and please come around more often.

Don, new truck and raise sounds like a great start.
Full agenda today. Have dentist appointment @ 11:45 and tonight going with my sisters to Forest Park Medical Center. They are having a special event on plastic surgery. I am sure we will go to dinner afterwards. Of course work is on my agenda since I can't seem to hit the lottery.
OK with numbers on the scale this morning.
Have a great day!

Rangers lost so better luck next year. Let the confusion from Obamacare begin in earnest. The Federal government is "shut down". Jan has a mandatory meeting at work with the big, big boss. Hopefully be some good news about TYC not closing but not likely. Not so swift of a start to a new month. However it is the start of our fiscal year at work. Means our raises kick in and I get my new truck! 
So not all bad.
Go Forth and have a Terrific Tuesday!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Well, it's been ten years for me. Wow. Back on this board, where it all began... I don't get back here much. Life gets in the way. I'd love to report great things, but am not able to. I had 9.5 great years and would not trade them for the world. It was a quality of life I had never had. Other medical conditions have crept in and riddled me helpless a lot of times and I've lost a lot. I mean, a lot... But I've learned to live for the Now, because that's all we really ever have. I smile every day for what I have, my kids, my grand daughter, and I'm still above the earth, still kickin'!!! I would do it all over again, and again. I hope to find cures for what ails me, but if not, I'll continue to live for the moment, and the next, and the next.
I still can't believe it's been ten years. Wow!!!

I attend a support group in Dallas called After the Cut.
It is a patient lead group not associated with any doctor or hospital. All are welcome.
We meet every 2nd & 4th Saturday at Wilshire Baptist Church @ 10:30.
If you are in Facebook join the group After the Cut.

Good Monday Everyone,
Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was uneventful ( the way I like it ). It's beginning to feel like fall and I LOVE it. I love the cooler mornings. We ALL have so very much to be grateful for everyday of our life. No matter how good or how bad things may seem....there is ALWAYS something that we can be grateful for. Today I am grateful for my life and health.....my WLS....my home, family and friends. I am grateful for all the things that my WLS has allowed me to now do that I only dreamed of doing before my surgery. I am SO very grateful for the chance to start over every day and not feel like a failure because I can't loose X amount of weight.....I CAN lose it now thanks to my WLS. I am so grateful for Obesity Help and all the encouragement and support here on these forums. Grateful for my faith in God and answered prayer. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for and have a amazing monday !!!

I wish I could help you. I lead a support group that will be meeting this coming sunday in Keller. I know Saundra lives in Mesquite ( I believe that's where she lives ). You might ask her. I know she attends a group but not sure if it is in Dallas or where. Saundra posts on the WLX post everyday. You can send her a message and maybe she will know of some in your area. Have to called a Baylor Hospital? I know that they were doing support groups that were open to the public. I've never gone to one but heard that they were really good. Good luck to you.
