Oh my lord....
Well first off I would like to say that sorry I have been away for so long. I just have been busy with work and just lost track of time. Today I had an appointment to check up on my progress. Well needless to say.. I have lost about 140lbs since my surgery in Oct. 09. Everything is going good. No set back or complications (only complication is that I need to buy new clothes every couple of weeks). Just recently I looked at pictures of my before the surgery and boy I look completely different. It is pretty scary to see yourself the way you once were, but luckly I did what I did to keep myself alive and happy. Hope to stay in touch more often.

Welcome back, better later than never, glad that you are doing so well. May 3rd will be my 4th year Bandaversery I have lost 90lbs total and if it was not for these wonderful people and all the support they offer I think I might have been lost. I have made so many new friends and it's great to talk to people who are on the same journey as you are and they boost you up and you help others too.
Hope to see you at one of the dinner's or support groups

that is most excellent. Congratulations!
I know what you mean about looking back at old photos. Seeing myself 140 lbs heavier makes me feel ashamed, and sad. But the thing I notice more than my fat body and face is the dead look in my eyes. I was miserable and barely existing. My RnY gave me my life back. I don't know how I mustered up the motivation to make the decision at the time, I'm just glad I did.
Please try to make it to one of the NJIGT dinners if you can. Its such a thrill to celebrate with other people *****ally understand where you've been and what you've been through.
