Hi all~

I can't believe tomorrow will be my re-birth of 1 year!!! Down 124 pounds!! Time sure does fly. I just want to let everyone here know how grateful I am for all of the continued support. It has been a bumpy road for me, but worth every minute. I am so blessed that Dr. Callery gave me this tool to make my life so much better and happier and I will always be thankful for him.

For those of you thinking about having surgery and are not certain, I just want to say it is the best thing that I have ever done for myself and like I always say, I would do it all over tomorrow if I had to!!!

Love and hugs to all~

Happy Re-birthday Dale! You, out of everyone that I know, have had to fight for your health through this process. I want you to know that I just adore you and admire your spirit and strength. I just think the world of you and your family! Tino is the best!

I think you are a beautiful person! I'm glad to call you my friend.

I wish you nothing but good health!

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

You know little tiny Dale I'm right there with you Saturday will be my 1yr and I've lost 144lbs in the year and I could never feel better. I would do it all over again if I had to as well.

You know the one thing that goes through my head when I think about you is your laying in ICU telling me that the needle didn't hurt..LOL you know how afraid of needles I was but you just wanted me to know I'd be fine. You are such a sweet and dear person. I'm so glad you are doing so well.

Tonya girl!

I was so out of it, but one thing I do remember is the needle thing and me telling you that you will be ok. You and Christina were hanging over my bed and all I remember is hearing your voices and trying to talk to you two and Tino taking pictures...lol. I won't ever forget all of my special visitors.

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.

I never thought I would be an inspiration to anyone, so I feel very blessed. There are so many wonderul people here who all have been inspirations to me, too.
