Graduation Day!

Well today is my one year anniversary . I am so happy I did this, even with the few problems I have had, I would have done this over again and again. I have lost a whole person. I am now down to 152 from a high of 305.5. Anyhow I just wanted to pop in and say hi to all the other grads lol. Take care KatherineL

Katherine, Happy WLS-iversary! And Welcome to the Grads Board! Congratulations on your loss! Don't be a stranger! Best Wishes- Dx

Thanks Dx KatherineL

Happy Anniversary Katherine! You look wonderful.. Congratulations on your success! Welcome to the grads world.

Hi Lynda thanks! Take care KatherineL

Congratulation on this day. Remember that being a grad is not defined by a date on the calendar, but by a perceptible change in perspective. Seldom will you find here the frantic rantings that occur so frequently on the Main Board. Maybe it's a zen thing! Some people will never be grads, no matter how far post-op they get; others achieve grad-state long before the nominal one-year mile marker. Read the posts already here. If you resonate with what you read, "You must be grad!" Nowhereman/PH/Jay

Hi Jay well then I think I graduated a while ago lol. I couldn't wait til I could get over here to post. Thanks for your insight. Take care KatherineL

As I said, some people become grads very quickly and others function like WLS pre-adolescents forever. The one-year thing is more advisory than mandatory in my opinion. I know that a lot of folks lurk here because it is rather different from the MB. NowhereMan/PH/Jay

Welcome, welcome! I love this forum. It is a different point of view being a grad. People here are very generous in sharing their triumphs and struggles and will give you honest feed-back. You've done so well - congratulations! Your WLS pal, Bette (A spotty contributor - in the midst of changing computers - Hello Brand New iMac! as soon as I get my nerve up!)

Hi Bette looking forward to getting to know everyone on here. I tell ya get that i-mac and never look back lol. We are Mac nuts around here, you'll never regret it. Take care KatherineL
