    Thank you so much for your wonderful words. It has been a tough year and even a tougher month this month. I know that she is much better off and that she is out of pain and for the first time in her life she is happy and healthy. I just feel so sad and fell so empty with out her. She was my best friend!! It scares me that I too am going to have the same problems that she had if I dont get something done and I keep running into dead ends. Its frustrating! Thanks again for writing to me. You are very thoughtful and so very right. When I look at the sky and the moon and the stars I see my moms face and I know she is in a much better place!! Ginger

    ~~I KNOW THAT THIS IS A TOUGH DAY FOR YOU, I'm sorry about the loss of your Mother. I know how painful it much be for today. ~~ Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy...... There is comfort in friendship...Hope in prayer...Peace in love....Praying for friends to comfort you...faith to uphold you...and loving memories to help you smile again.

    My name is Ginger Lloyd and I have been overweight my entire life. My first memory of being overweight was in the 1st grade, when a little girl would poke at my fat legs with a pencil just to watch them jiggle.   My whole life I have been made fun of and tormented. To alleviate the pain I felt inside, I  would pretend like it didn’t bother me by making fun of myself instead of waiting for others to do it. Thus I became the class clown, jokester while all the time I was hurting inside!   I have always been very active even at my highest weight of 330 lbs. I had RNY surgery in August 2008 and it has given me a new lease on life. The energy level is unreal.   I am currently down 117 lbs and its hard to find words to say how wonderful I feel! All of my co mortalities are gone and I am so much healthier than I ever thought I could be!! Most of us have surgery for health reasons which is a given but I can tell you there are so many other benefits to being thinner.  Almost daily I discover new WOW moments that I didn’t even realize was something I couldn’t  do before  or even wanted to do before the weight loss.   Its almost like being a baby and taking your first steps or saying your first words.   Thank you Dr Christopher Hart for changing my life and Thank you to my wonderful family and friends for giving me the love and  support that I needed to get through all of this.   To those of you that are fellow WLS patience.. Congratulations and keep up the good work. We are a group of unique individuals that no one else quite understands how we think or feel. We are in this together, and together we can accomplish all of our dreams!! For those of you that are considering going down this path I encourage you to do your homework and choose your surgeon as well as the type of WLS   carefully and to be ready for the ride of your life and enjoy every second of it!      Thank you and God Bless.   Ginger Lloyd Current weight 202

I am happy to report that today is not only my one year Surgiversary  but I am FINALLY  below the 200's and in ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!     This has been my own personal goal from the beginning and I DID it!!  I am down 126 lbs in exactly 1 year !!!!!!!!!!!  I have never really wanted to be a size 2 but wanted to feel better and look better and be able to do all the things that what I call NORMAL people can do!  IE:  sitting in regular chairs, walking into a room with out everyone staring at the fat lady and shopping off the racks at all dept stores!!   

 Reflecting back on this past year has just been incredible!   I can hardly  believe all of the wonderful things I have been able to accomplish and along the way somehow I learned to truly love myself again!  No longer fake it till I make it!! In my book I've made it and no words can ever ever describe how wonderful I feel!     

For those of you just starting your journey .. I wish you all the very best and hope that your ride is half as enjoyable as mine has been!   For those of you that have been around the block  I want to thank you for all of your support not only for me but for everyone here!  You are truly a blessing and you are appreciated!   Lashelle and Laura..... You guys are  supper l!  You both are fabulous and always have the right words to say to encourage me even thought you are just a babies in the process.. you are so wise and appreciated! You will soon be able to look back at how wonderful your life has changed!!   I can't forget you, Ginger... You.. well .. there are no words to describe how much I appreciate all of your wisdom and advice, You truly are a wonderful support and it shows how much you care about people!      Thanks to all of my OH family for being there for me!!!  We are all so much alike yet different in so many ways!! We have to stick together to keep each other lifted up!  

Huge hug to you all and have a fabulous day!!!

I don't know about everyone else but I absolutely love rollercoasters but have for so long now not been able to fit in most of them and those that I could fit in I was shoved and squished and miserable in.  WELL over spring break my girls and I went to universal studios and I rode everything in site!  YES even the rollercoasters with the chest restraint!! I FIT!!! OMG  I FIT!!!  It was incrediable!!!  WOOO HOOO!  My girls kept saying slow down mom we cant keep up with you... ahhhh waht a great compliment!!!  This just keeps getting better!!
