2012 - 7 yr Anniv

Jan 20, 2012

I received my anniversary email this morning.  What a great way to start the day!  7 years of life changing events!

I am happy to report I am still at goal weight, never did have plastic surgery and I am still active and advocate for WLS. 

I renewed a severed friendship from the past, someone who also had WLS with Dr. A this summer.  It has been such a blessing to have her friendship as part of my life again and to watch the transformation from the outside - the frustrations(I'm not losing weight, why am I eating this/that? "have you lost some weight?, YES 100#!!!) to the joys of people not recognizing you, never realizing HOW much you physically change to others.  Inside, we're all the same people, some just crying to get out and be & do all the things we've dreamed of!

My best long term advice is:  WLS is a TOOL, not your answer.  Use the tool, watch what you eat, excerise.  Trust me the average woman who looks great in her jeans is doing the same thing!  We just have been given the opportunity to catch up!

I truely am blessed, I would enjoy talking with anyone who is interested in the surgery.
