Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side. PS. If you check out my web page, be sure to sign the guest book there. Thanks.

"I WISH YOU ENOUGH" I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** I wish you all the very best on your surgery, a speedy problem free recovery and a rapid weight loss. Remember this: the WAIT is worth the loss of WEIGHT!!! You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about it's width and depth. BLESS YOU!!! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* BOTH DOUG AND I HAD OPEN RNY'S. I (NANCY) HAD MINE ON JUNE 28, 2001 AND DOUG HAD HIS ON OCT. 9, 2001. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF OUR LIVES. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** I GUESS I BETTER SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS!!! THE BEST ONE WAS GETTING MARRIED. THIS IS REALLY DOUG'S SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. IF YOU READ HIS PROFILE, YOU WILL SEE WHY. GO TO "FIND PEERS" CLICK ON OUR STATE, CA THEN GO TO THE CITY OF LA MESA.

WE BOTH HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR DR. RUMSEY AND HIS STAFF. WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER TREATMENT BY THE CLINIC STAFF AND ALSO THE HOSPITAL STAFF. I HIGHLY RECOMMENT THEM TO ANYONE!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND WE WISH YOU EVERY SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% NOVEMBER 2002: Well, Doug has now lost 215 lbs and Nancy has lost 110. Doug is getting really skinny!!! He may be at goal. We both go to our surgeon for a check up on nov. 11 and we will find out if he thinks Doug is done!!! Nancy (me!) wants to lose about 30 more lbs. We have both decided NOT to have any more surgery such as a tummy tuck. Our lives are so rich now. We both feel wonderful and we do not miss all the food we thought we would. You can improvise and make wonderful meals. Our diet is pretty restricted compared to the diets we read about on AMOS. We do not eat bread, beef, pork, cereal and a lot of other things that others eat. We are going to talk to our dr and find out if we are being to restrictive.

“Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.” William Jennings Bryan. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things that you want to do. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way! May God hold you in the palm of His hand and Angels watch over you!
