Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)…Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly and take lots of pictures…the transformations will make your jaw drop!!! RNY 10/31/03 – down 108 pounds AND AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE CENTURY CLUB!!! Good luck. - ps - I'm so sorry about your brother. Be strong.

I am so sorry for the untimely passing of your brother. It is very hard to lose someone like that so suddenly. You are in my prayers. God speed for a speedy recovery. Cry on our shoulders when you need to. We are here for you.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I made it thru surgery well and recovery is going fine. However Friday morning I was given some horrible news. My dear sweet brother had died at the age of 40 due to a massive heart attack. Yes, he too was obese. I was hoping that my surgery would encourage him to have surgery as well...but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. It's very hard to set aside my grief and focus on my own healing, just not in my nature, but I know that I must do that now for myself and for those that love me. He would want me to continue on and strive for good health. Thats what gets me thru, knowing that I am doing what my brother would want me to do and knowing that God is with me as I do it. Again, thank you all for being there for me. Can't help but love this AMOS family! God bless ~Dana

Hi Dana! Congrats on having your surgery! I bet you feel relieved now. It's over and now you are on the other side and can join the ranks of the losers. Welcome, my friend!!! Happy RE-Birthday to you! From this day forward you life will change forever. Just try to take it easy and remember to sip, walk, deep breathe and cough. These first few days are rough, but I assure you they get better with each passing day. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for an uncomplicated, swift recovery. You are an official loser!! Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Soft hugs to you today. God bless, DI from NJ - Lap RNY, 12/09/03

I will have ya in my prayers for a painfree and speedy recovery. ****Loving Father, I entrust my AMOS friend to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed, I may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around them. Through Jesus Christ. Amen.*** ~~T
