Whew! It is my Surgiversary today!

 Well, except for the **** in a box, I could have expressed many of the same feelings in your post.      Ain't looking at old pictures strange....there wasn't a person alive that could tell me I'm not fabulous no matter what my size LOL  And the light in your face still shines through but the body is totally unrecognizable.   Except you still got kickin curves...jealous!    Damn, I still can't believe you were a new post op when we met in Philly.   Go on and save yourself LLS   Def do over in DC...Love ya, G

Shani, you continue to inspire!!! Congrats, Mami!!

Congratulations, Shani!  You look gorgeous and so happy!

you were beautiful thick and you are beautiful thin.................you are just damn gorgous!!

I'll never forget the first time I met you and the rest of the MADS--you were a month pre-op and I was waiting on my date--you were my guinea pig!!!!  I was soo relieved that all went well for you, it definitely put my fears to rest going into surgery.  I'll never forget your coming to see my in the hospital (although I still feel bad for falling asleep on the toliet while you were there! LOL). 

You've done this YOUR way (who could have expected less), with a great attitude and a smile on your face.  and the bonus, you look AMAZING!

Congratulations on a fabulous first year and on your new, healthy life!

Hugs!
