Let us post-ops never forget!
I had the oppritunity to go to Northwestern last week and listen to my Surgeon talk to pre-ops. It was such a thrill to see all the hope that was in one room.
We were asked to speak and tell our story. I can't tell you what a wave of emotion came over me. To see all the faces out there and to know all the hope they were looking for and having trouble believing it could happen for them....
One thing I think we forget or should I say I did was just how bad it "was". I had people coming up to me in wheel chairs asking questions. People in those motorized carts and using canes. I almost cried, as I forgot just how bad things were for us in the beginning.
Let us never forget where we came from and the pain we were living with, so that we may help others find there way to where we are today

I can't wait to go back and talk to others...If I can help one person through this journey then it's all worth it
Good luck to you and keep me posted on how you are doing Amen, sister. I felt the same way too and remembered how it felt to be in the audience support group seeing all the success stories. I still have a hard time believing that I will ever be of a normal BMI but I have total faith my system at Northwestern. They rock and I wouldn't have it any other way. I see so many who struggle with issues before/during/after surgery and wonder "Where are their Dr's?" and why do they have these basic questions without answers?
I was thrilled to meet you and look forward to a long, healthy relationship with you and my new mind body heart connection.
