WLS allows us to realize dreams
I've been in Nicaragua for two weeks now and temperatures in the 90's and I hardly break a sweat.
It is amazing what losing 105 pounds can do.
WLS has allowed me to realize a dream of coming here to do a three month mission to teach English without dying from the heat.
I feel blessed to have this opportunity. If you just imagine what you can do, you can realize your dreams.
I ran/walked/biked the distance between my house and here in 7.5 months, which was 3553 kilometers (2207.7 miles) as a challenge for myself. I could never have imagined doing that before WLS.

Awesome!!! I'm so excited for you!!
When I was a teenager I wanted to be a Missonary so bad! My girls have been on quiet a few Misson trips and they have come home with such wonderful stories of love and hope. If I would have had my WLS back then I would have been a volunteer parent and would have gotten to live one of my dreams.
My dream now is to be healthy enough to be around to watch my Daughters and Grandchildren live some of their dreams.

I'm so happy for you :) I've always wanted to go on a mission trip to Africa, but was always too heavy. Maybe when I reach my goal weight I will be able to go :) You are an inspiration to me !

Thanks all, it really has been a blessing for me.
I do like that I brought a picture of me from the last time I was here and 255 pounds. So when I explain big and small I show the picture for the difference. Some of the people remember me from the last time too and they are always commenting on how good I look.
I cannot lie, it feels nice to be slim
