Hello Michael, I just wanted to say congratulations on your weight loss surgery and welcome to the other side. As you lose the pounds you are going to feel so much better and your energy level will just grow. In just a few short months you’ll be able to do things you never thought possible. The little things will get so much easier, like tying your shoes. I know, I had RNY Gastric Bypass in August of 2004, and I’ve lost 130 lbs. Now the surgery and the change in lifestyle are not walks in the park. That’s why I go to support group meetings and belong to online WLS discussion groups like http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/WLBSS/ . And I check out websites like Obesity Help and http://wlbss.com for support and information. WLBSS stands for Weight Loss Bariatric Surgery Support, and you should take advantage of all the support you can get. Get all your questions answered by experienced losers who are now winners. From the Girth, a Rising Phoenix, a Bariatric Butterfly, that soon will be you. Congrats and good luck. We’re all right behind you and with you as you start to change your life. Take Care, Bill Johnson-Miles

Hello Michael - CONGRATULATIONS to you and your wife in your JOINT decision to have weight loss surgery and regain your health and your life. WOW, what a wonderful and exciting time for you both - and to share the same Anniversary months of Surgery? Now THAT'll be a very important time to celebrate for many years to come. With a little bit of luck, you're already OUT of surgery and in your hospital room - pressing MrHappyButton (Pain meds) as often as needed, happy, content, groggy and THRILLED that your second chance at life is finally your REALITY! I hope you and your wife post updates to the VaMessageBoard with OH - we'd love to hear how you're both doing as time moves along. Once again, congrats to both of you - here's to many MANY years of health and happiness!
