Greetings

Hi Folks!

I hope I qualify as a grad:)

I had RNY Surgery at Barix in Michigan 4/11/2007. I am a Canadian and had my surgery paid for by OHIP (our provincial Healthcare System)

I have gone through so many changes both physical and emotional. It has been quite a ride. I visit the gym twice a day and run up to 10KM per day. I have felt like I never have.

Just wanted to pop in and say Hi.

So..... Hi!

Hi Mark!  NIce to meet you.  Congratulations on your great road to health. Vicky

hi there so nice to meet you.  it sounds as if your surgery has opened a whole new world to you and thats a great thing. please stop by and visit here anytime, its always nice to hear a new voice. hugs, jacki

Yep, you're a grad. Great work!

Great to hear from you--Wow, you've had a phenomenal weight loss!  Makes for a totally different life in a lot of ways, doesn't it?  Hope to hear from you often.  The grads forum isn't nearly as big as the main one, but I really feel at home here.  I don't post real often, but I get a lot out of the new & old grads' questions & comments.  Those who are struggling like I am make me feel not so alone, and those who are more successful with their maintenance give me hope!

Congratulations on your wonderful success and welcome to the grad board.

Hi Mark Welcome to the grads..  Five years out in Nov and yes indeed,,,,quite a ride.. Keep up the good work and remember that after about the 18- 24 month you will start to do a regain if your not careful ..  Most do anyway , maybe you will be the lucky one who doesnt :)  Have a great week  Shirley
