Default Celebration of Success

My WLS program host a social every year known as a celebration of success. It use to be called a second-chance prom where people dress up in formals and treat it like a prom. However, thankfully,it is just a celebration of sucess where they recoginize people's accomplishments and make a big deal about 1 year post-op patients. I thought i would share some pics. I've done alot since WLS that I would never do before, however, i couldn't bring myself to get out on the dance floor, except during the slow songs. My coordinator told me I had one year to learn the "electric slide". LOL

The pics are:
Yellow Dress- Wife
Guy- My Surgeon- Dr. Hata
Blue Dress- WLS Coordinator
Me- With a SF Punch. Pretty good too
