Today is my 5 year Surg-iversary...forgive the ramble...

Hey Dx, We're also looking forward to the next 5 years of your posts--brief or not! Congrats on all that you've accomplished and learned via WLS, and much gratitude and appreciation for your wise  and witty words here on OH. Bet you could never have imagined how much good your WLS experience would end up doing for so many other guys (okay, and gals . . .) I'm with Dave in looking forward to your treatise on brevity. When will vol. 1 be available?

Congrats Dxe!  Your story inspires me and I can relate in a lotta ways man.  Thanks for sharing.  BobM.

Congratulations Dx! Here's to the next five years.

Congrats DX and to another 5 years

congratulations rain man!!!!! We love you Dx...hope you have another 5 uneventful thin years. Scott

B-I-G tip'o'the'hat to you Dx... Your guru-ness here is muchly appreciated!!!! And may the next 5 be as good for you as is possible too! Jim

Dx, It's people like you that inspire us "youngin's" to step up and become informed, educated and help us make better decisions. Although my time on this board has been hit and miss, I respect you as a key figure on here and very much look forward to reading more!

Congratulations DX.  Thanks for all your inspiration.  It's great to hear of long term goal maintenance.  So many times when I tell people of my upcoming surgery, EVERYONE seems to know several people that had WLS and now has gained it all back.  I just have to say to myself that going back to old ways will not be an option for me.  I can see that it doesn't have to be with you and other successes on this forum.  Thanks again to you and all the others who have changed their lives.  Michael

Congrats Dx. I have greatly appreciated all the information you provide along with the awsome example. Marc

Five years is cause for some celebrating!
