Hi Laura
My name is Stacey, I am just under 6 months post op "Open RNY" and have lost 71 lbs to date. My goal is to hit 135 on February 14, 2006, and if I do, I am sending myself two dozen red roses :).
You are an amazing woman and can achieve all you want to do. The best thing I can say is that you are NOT alone, and that the people here are more generous and kind than any other website I have been to.
I have met a lady already who has just amazed me with information that I was not aware of.
I'd like to offer my shoulder, my ear, my heart to you as a friend, and as someone you can call upon to talk to anytime you need it.
Just like everyone else, this is a great "TEAM" and we have the BEST players anywhere in the world.
Be strong, and remember that in every step you take.
All my very best,
Stacey
