Default Hey LisaB let me be the first....

...to wish you a wonderful 2 year Surgiversary!! Its hard to imagine that it has already been 2 years for both of us, isn't it?

I want you to know that it has been my privilege and honor to call you my pod-mate and to share this journey with you. We have been on quite the ride together but I am SO GLAD you have been along for the ride. Your constant encouragement, understanding and wisdom has helped me with every step of this journey and though we live miles and miles apart I see you as a sister. I am so extremely PROUD of you, Lisa!! So very proud!!!

*HUGS*

Hope you had a wonderful vacation in Hawaii. You deserve it! It's been quite the 2 years for both of us.

Love you pod-mate!

Thumbs up Congratulations to both of you!

Congratulations to both of you!

When I first joined the Forum you (both) were two of the people that stood out for me and I keep looking at you for inspiration when I'm having a downer

Well done on all you've achieved and thanks for hanging around so that those of us following in your footsteps can still learn as we go along

Hey my dear Beth! I posted under my story about my last 2 years...I see you did the same last week too!

Its been such a pleasure to be your podmate, to journey through this wonderful transformation that we have had - both with Gastric Bypass and then the tummy tuck.

Its been an amazing 2 years and the fun is just starting.

Thank you so much for being there for me, holding my hand in the good times and the rough times. We made it and will continue to...maybe one day we will see each other face to face - heck we know so much about each other already, it will be like old times.

Take Care Sweetie!

Lisa, it would be a very special day for me if we could ever meet. Who knows maybe one day. I do have family in Seattle so who knows. It's at least a bit closer!! Enjoy your day and keep warm. We are getting an artic blast ourselves today. It's down to 6 F which is really cold for us....the wind is blowing and there are a lot of white out conditions on the roads. I just got back in and it wasn't pretty driving. Ohhhhh....for some sun and warmth. I'm ready for it!!
