11-12-03 Its been awhile ,Things are going great, down 87 Lb. Went in to Boston to see a new Dr, for my after care sence Dr.Ferzcco left Good Sam;s in Stoughton and moved her practice to Dedham. She is no longer in my ins plan. So I went in to Saint Elizbath to see a DR.O'Donnall. What can I say about DR.O'Donnall ? I wasn;t all that inpressed with him I guess cause he did;t do the surgery the fact that Im doing ok is enough, he did have much to ask or say .So it good I only have to see him once a year.One thing I did find out is that in my blood work it showed I have something called H-PYLOREy it;s a bactaier(sp) that can cause ulscers an has to be treated with 3 different med I;m still waiting for his office to call and let me know when and how it will be done . On the good side of my life I get to go to N,Y this weekend with my daughter and granddaughter for the day, we are going to see the Rocketts and do some shopping, and sightseeingwith 87 less lb I know I will be able to do it this year,and I can;t wait. I am also going to do a walk for the Special Olympics in Dec. with my granddaughtrer something I would neaver have been able to do before wls.My life is full and getting better every day.

10-20-03 What a wonderful week-end I had . Went to the mall[ I neaver go to the mall to shop cause I hated the walking and neaver found anything to fit ) But this weekend I went with my oldes daughter and we had a blast, I went shopping in Filines,JC Pennys and found some great bargins,neavcer payed much notise how much cheaper smaller size cloths are.I fit into a 16 but for me it was still a little snug and at 56 snug is not cool.So I got 18 and will add 16 to my xmass list for hubby.It was so nice to not have to buy elastic wast pants, Sunday I went crazy going thru my closets and getting rid of all and I MEAN ALL of my elastis wast pants.and size 3x tops,and it felt wonderful.LIFE IS GOOD AND WITH GOD HELP IT WILL ONLKY GET BETTER.

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. (unknown author)FROM MY HEART TO YOU ~*~Hugs~*~</b>

We went to Disney and I wore shorts{ that a first I neaver wore them out in public at home before{ I am in 16-18 from 26-28 and I can wear a 14-16 top.It only been 6 months and I am so happy with my decision to have wls. and the changes in my life, the things I can do . Every day I find something new I can do ,like walk thru a turnstyle and not have to turn sideways or worry I wont fit.Sit in a booth, cross my legs, walk for hours and not hurt for days.Enjoy life again.
