Tammy so very great to see you on line and that is wonderful that Janet is going to be your angel , she is pretty special angel isnt she. Do you know when your surgery is going to be yet? Was really awesome that you came up to a meeting here in Springfield. That was a long old drive. Hope to see you again some day soon. Check with Brenda and Andrew about the meeting in Fredericktown. They are still trying to get it going. the next one is March 12th hope they get some people there this time. That would be a lot closer to you too. Jan

Hi Tammy Ammy Im not sure what I can say about the sweetheart comments LOL....a lot of people would disagree with that LOL...LOL... No, but seriously-I have had a calling put on my heart since I started this journey. I have always felt like maybe everything I have gone through would benefit someone at sometime. I am so happy to hear that I make a difference in someones life just by saying whats on my heart and because I have been there-I can speak from experience and its hard when someone doesnt know what your going through and they give you advice, we know that! Unless you are a sz 10 and USED to be big, I dont want someone pepping me up-you know? I have lost friends because they were small and couldnt relate to the surgery. It was the lowest time of my life. Finding this web site and people who cared-literally carried me through some of my darkest times. Now I feel like I have been blessed with a whole bunch of friends on here who are like family to me......YEAH.... I also know that with people with higher BMIs, like me, Mel and yourself-that we faced more challenges, some pretty humiliating at times, that some people who are overweight or obese etc didnt face and so we can relate in that aspect. I dont need to name those things here, we have talked about that-but I dont feel so humiliated or embaressed like I used to....cause I am not the only one-like I used to think I was!! Thats a dark place and that alone feeling can cripple someone-and I dont EVER want you to feel like your alone-you ARE NOT....we are all working towards a common goal here, no matter how much weight we have to lose, you know? The great thing is that after our meeting and pics Tues night that I told Mel, I am sooooo excited about sitting by you in this journey and to see you transform is going to be a blessing for us! You are me 7 months ago....when you told me that you lost 12#, I almost cried- I knew in my heart you had and I am glad you did weigh-so you could feel proud of yourself too-I have NO DOUBTS you will do FANTASTIC in this journey and that you WILL prevail and WIN the weight war-WOO HOO Well, glad your posting more-would love to hear from you EVERY DAY...call it your therapy LOL-but much cheaper, more brilliant minds and to me, better advice from people who have been there. done that! Love ya-glad to be your angel!!! Love, Janet

Tammy, It was awesome to see you on Monday night. You have done well losing the 12 pounds and you are going to do so well with your WLS. You have a good husband too, he brought you on that four hour journey because he loves you!!! I can't wait to see you have this wonderful tool and begin to use it and start melting away. I am so glad Janet is your angel. She's such a sweetie and knows where you are and where you're going to be soon. Keep posting, we love you and want to do anything we can to help you. There are times when you feel that these folks are the only family you have. We are all here for you whether in happy or sad times. Hugs and love, Lana

Congratulations ! I'm so happy for you ... I too have an angel but I can't figure out where to go to put it on my page ? haha I'm blind as a bat I guess. I've been trying to blame it on my drugs ... but it doesn't seem to matter whether or not I take them or not... I still can't find the Angel part on my profile. Darn it... But I'm so happy for you! Congrats!!!
