A year ago today I joined the "Loser's Bench". I truly cannot believe how fast time flies when you are actually living life to the fullest. To be honest, I wasn't really sure I would feel as good as I do today. I feel so healthy and full of life. I love to exercise and really enjoy healthy foods. This tool/gift I have been given is a Godsend!! It took me 2 years of battling to get the surgery. I even had to hire an attorney. It was exhausting, frustrating, and totally worth it!! I would have this surgery a 100 times over to feel the way I do today!! I also want to thank everyone on the boards for always being supportive. Without this board I would have given up the fight to have this surgery. You all ROCK!!! God bless you ALL!!! Heather

Happy Surgi-versary to you, skinny minnie!!! I'm so proud of you and your success, thank you for being an inspiration to me and encouraging me be a fighter too. Us dragon-slayers got to stick together...

Was it only a year ago I was sitting in your hospital room waiting to hear about my appeal?? Where did the time go??

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
