    Topic: RE: My latest WOW Moment
    Hi I had my latest WOW moment on My 12th wedding anniversary when I got out of the car and my son (who I hadn't seen for almost 2 years) saw me...I saw him right after my lapband surgery then he moved away. He looked at me and then did the 2nd glance and then yelled Holy F^*(^*( ****  I did not recognize my own mother...You look wonderful...He asked how much I have lost and Proudly I said 199 lbs    I even walked 8 miles in the woods at a Boys Camp in Alpine, NJ were he is a camp ranger. I love my new life...

    Topic: RE: Greatful
    I am Thankful for my new life that my surgeon Dr.Tishler helped me find. I am thankful for my husband Lenny who goes with me to all Dr appointments and support meetings, for my 3 grown children and my 6 grandchildren who also support and encourage me to stick with the lapband.  My co-workers and neighbors who also give me encouragement.My life is becoming so wonderful I never knew what I was missing until I find something else that I have not been able to do before and now it comes easy.  Like today I did lawn & gardening I NEVER DID IT BEFORE because I felt bad being seen bending over outside...I did it an done of my neighbors asked my husband who the 'young thin lady' was doing yard work...IT WAS ME   YEAH!!!
