Oh Cyndi, A true surgiversary buddy! Exactly the same day and year. I plan to do some roving around the PA country side in early October before the NYC gathering. Where abouts is Dover? I want to lose about 40 more lbs. Congratulations to you also.

Thank you Suzette. I wish that I had "noticed" how bad things had gotten way before I did. You are doing a great job on your journey.

Karen,

Anything I could possibly say would be so insignificant next to the comments you've received and the wonderful miracles you have received.

I'm just so thankful that we've come this far and had the adventures we've had and met the friends we have. 

Life continues to be an adventure.

Hey Little Bit, You've been right there for me every step of the way. Listening to my whining, my griping, my down in the dumps. You are so great at reminding me of all that I have to be thankful for. And I number you way up there on the top of that list!!

Connie, Thank you so much. Oh to be at goal. . . I must have a reason that I am stalling. And that is exactly what it is. It's almst like I'm afraid to get there. But I am so much stronger than I used to be. I can do it, I can do it. I remind myself daily of that little engine: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. . . "

Happy Surgervisary Karen!!!!

Thank you for shaing your story and thank you for being here when I arrived on this site, in most part because of a post that I had read from Margo on main board in July of 07 when I was still a pre-op. . .  you are one of many who have encouraged and supported me on this wonderful journey. . .  I cannot wait to meet you in October and am sooo looking forward to it!  Even though I am still not at goal and even though I am only 16 months post-op, there is so much of what you posted that I can relate to. . . 

What I can say is that today I am thrilled to be alive, truly living life and once again I wish you a very happy surgervisary!

Hugs, Laureen

Laureen, Thank you. You inspire me daily! This is a life long journey not one that we will ever reach the end of. I'm trying to enjoy the journey tho I would like to reach goal too. Must give myself a good talking to and get my head and mouth back to doing what it takes to take off and keep off the pounds. Sometimes I forget that it wasn't brain surgery and my head is still so screwed up sometimes. I can't wait to meet you also!
