Smile Miracles DO Happen!
Just wanted to update everyone on my husband Ray! Just in case you all don't think you're going to make ASTOUNDING progress after WL surgery.....


Ray is now down to 314 pounds from a whopping 460 in OCTOBER of 2005!!!

He was able to lose 40 pounds prior to surgery, but everything else has come off SINCE MARCH 6TH!!!!

Ray no longer has signs of sleep apnea! This is from a man who would literally fall asleep as you were talking to him at work bc he was so exhausted/sleep deprived. Ray is so still and peaceful at night and he wakes up completely refreshed! If there's any miracle in all this, this would be it.....I was convinced sleep apnea was going to take his life....

Ray has had no flare ups of his asthma at all! I don't even see him using his inhalers!

Ray is active with our two boys! They have a new DADDY!!And I have a new husband! And as a result of his positive life changes, I myself have lost over 60 pounds and only 20 pounds away from healthy!!!

Miracle can happen!

thanks so much ladies! I have to figure a way to scan some pictures and get them posted here...Ray has completely transformed himself!It is amazing. And his job performance (event dj-weddings, parties, etc) has stepped up so much-even his voice is so much clearer and stronger! It truly is a miracle!
