  Good Monday Morning Everyone,

Hopefully we will get some relief from our extreme Texas heat this week.    As we all know this is a " Grateful Post".   We ALL have so much in our lives to be grateful for...no matter how small they may be or seem.    I have so very much in my life to be grateful for just thinking about it makes my head spin sometimes.   LOL   Today I am so grateful for my WLS.   I had gotten so large that I thought that there was NO hope for me every looking normal or half way normal.     Thank GOD for my friend Virginia who had WLS a year before I did and told me about it.   If she had not urged me and kept on at me about it....I would probably weigh over 300 lbs by now.    Grateful for all the choices for WLS today.   BTW...they ALL work...you just have to work them the way they were designed and not stray from what you are educated to do.    Grateful for second chances for us and for family members.   Grateful for my Faith and answered prayers in my life.   Grateful for my husband and 3 sons.    Grateful for this website and for the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La.   It is coming up in  2 weeks !!!  Not too late to attend.     Think about it !!!   Hope to meet you there.   Have a blessed day and PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today.


Hugs and blessings ~~~~ Vivian

What a great post... I was sleeved 2 weeks ago, and you made me realize how important it is to remember the things I am grateful for.  I am grateful for having a second chance with this surgery.  Grateful to be able to reverse my bad health.  Grateful for all the support I am receiving from the people around me. 
Thanks everyone!
John

 Thank you DrHollywood for replying to this post and for realizing how Grateful you are.   I love the fact that I can stand forever ( it seems ) now and not have my legs, hips and back hurt.    That is a miracle in itself.   Have a blessed week.

Thanks for the reminder!
I'm grateful for the opportunity to have this surgery (next month)!!!!
I'm grateful that my employer is very supportive and willing to work with me on my schedule adjustments and time off!!
I'm grateful for this website also and the journeys everyone shares- good bad and ugly...


On a side note: Vivian, I've been wanting to come to your support group but I work every other Sunday and haven't lined my schedule up with the support group schedule! Hopefully some day I'll make it!
