Question:
Not a question but a thank you!

This a thank you to everyone on the list for all of the great support extended to one another. Also a special thanks to all my Dr. Champion Angels! I am a recent post-op of 11/30/99. I had the LAP RNY with Dr. Champion. I flew all the way from Chicago to Atlanta to have the surgery performed. I am sure I would never had made it through this experience without all of the support and advice garnered from the members on this site. I also must Thank God first! I even did searches for keywords on this site and was helped by some older questions and answers. So many of your answers still help people today. Plus chatting late into the night has been a help too. I am feeling great and moving around and have lost so much in just one week. I am still on liquids but am not a slave to food anymore. It seems this surgery has "filled the hole" so to speak. I am SO happy I made this decision!!! I hope God keeps me healthy and I can now live a longer and healthier life with my two young children. Well, so not to babble on...Love and Hugs to everyone!!!    — Toni K. (posted on December 9, 1999)
