I am thankful for my dear husband and family who never criticized me for
the way I looked and loved me for the way I was and has totally been an
amazing support through this whole endeavor. I am thankful for my job, my
friends, my home and my freedom. And most of all I am thankful for my faith
that enables me to get up and face every new day and know that my fate is
sealed no matter which way I turn and that I am forever held in someone
elses hands.

I am thankful for Dr. Marshall's gifted hands and this surgery which has
helped me to lose 93 pounds since 7/3/02! I am thankful that I no longer
use a CPAP machine to breathe at night, and that I no longer take
medications for depression, high blood pressure and acid reflux. I am MOST
thankful for my Donald, my ex-husband and my best friend. We went through
some very rough times, were married only 1-1/2 years before we got divorced
April 2001. He has been my strongest supporter pre-op and post-op and I
love him dearly.

I am thankful for the skillful and steady hands of my bariatric surgeon,
Dr. Steven Raper of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and his
staff. I am thankful for my loving and supportive wife, Geri, who will be
undergoing her own WLS at some point next year (I hope that I can be as
loving and supportive as she has). I am thankful for our two wonderful
kids, David and Rebecca. I am thankful to a wonderful employer who has
allowed me to work from home over the last couple of years due to various
medical problem. And I am happy for my support families, both the online
and live support groups at HUP and my AMOS family here. A Happy and Safe
Thanksgiving to all! JR (P.S. To the pre-ops...enjoy stuffing yourself one
last time. To the post-ops...remember protein first and get in your fluids

I am thankful that my family were able to come down after not seeing me
since my weight-loss and they were all making a huge deal about it- making
me feel on top of the world! I am thankful that when I stand, the chair
doesn't stay attached to my butt. I am thankful that my insurance company
actually paid for my procedure (and paid much more than I thought they
would). I am thankful that some sweet soul put a new bottle of water on the
water cooler today at work. I am thankful that my hubby hasn't served
divorce papers on me since I have been driving him crazy the last few days.
I am thankful that my soon-to-be four year old can finally hit the toilet
when he pees. I am also grateful that my fourteen year old can finally do
so as well. And I am most thankful that I was FINALLY able to get in the
correct amount of protein today and none of it came back up!!! (Been having
a problem with meat.) <b>Happy Turkey Day!</b>......Karen (lap
rny- 9/20/02- down 76 pounds!)
