4 year wls suregry was yesterday!

Hello my friends! Yesterday was my 4 year wls surgery date! Wow how time has gone by! I was at goal year 1! I wear my dream size 10 maybe 12. I am healthy! No I do not feel like I am a thin person. My head still says I am fat! My boyfriend of 3 years Kendall think everytime I leave the house men flirt with me! Thats not true! I flirt with our 60 year old mail man! ha ha Men do not hit on me! I think its cause I not do give off those virbes that I am avaliable! I am not! ha ha I could not have had wls and done all this without my wls obesity help friends. I came on here so manytimes during the time before and after wls crying cause nothing was going my way! But I kept on going! To begin with I had no insurance! Got it, then my first wls Dr left the country! Then it was like none of the Dr offfice would call me back, it was one big run around! Then got a wls Dr 5 hours from me! Set a date ect.. he came down with cancer! But he did his treatments and was ok, so only had to put off my surgery a few weeks! Ok yesterday I had a real bad dumping thing! Yes it still happens once a week or so after 4 years! My 27 yr old daughter just had wls 4 weeks ago. I am so proud of Carissa! She has lost like 30 pounds in the last 4 weeks! Today May 17 is her 27th Birthday! She has never had kids or married but wants both! She has recently started dating a guy who took 4 weeks to kiss her! Hay at least he didn't rush her! She got to met his mom a few days ago! She lives by Wal Mart, Joe called her and said Hay come up to Wal Mart and meet my mom! So she went! His mom was nice and said Carissa looks just like her picture. Guess what Joe does not drink and has a job! 2 brownie points for Joe! ha ha Ok if you have not visited my web site and your planning on taking a trip please visit my site! www.alivingangeltravel.com See ya all lighter!

Hi Cyndi - Happy 4th birthday!! Congrats on your success. I really appreciate you sharing your story and hearing that you have kept the weight off. You sound very happy w/ the way things have turned out. It's good to hear that Carissa is doing well. Tell her I said Congrats on the 30lb loss and happy birthday. It sounds like Joe is a keeper!!! ((Hugs)) Christina

Hi Christina, I am new to this message board and looking for some advice.  I am 6 years post op and my lowest weight was last year at about 150.  That was wonderful, and I was so glad to have lost the amount I did (110)  Unfortunately, I have stopped dumping and I am eating sugar again and have regained about 50 lbs.  I am so depressed, I had to be hospitalized due to the depression a few months ago.  I tried wWW but it didn't work for me, I still don't eat alot of food,  just the wrong things. ANy encouragement you could offer would be great.  I live in Clinton, Il. Thanks Teresa Smith

Happy 4 years to you.. Mine is coming up but its not a happy one being i have only manage to keep about 50 of my pounds off but will be having my hernia fixed as well as my surgery fixed if they can fix it for 15,000 that's all the insurance will pay for.. Anyways congrats.. My little man will be 1 the 25th and i gained all the weight after having him i sent you pictures. Congrats on your success and i am so glad your daughter finally decided to have it hope she is doing well marsha
