I just want to thank everyone for the words of encourgement and to say the that without all of the wonderful people on ObesityHelp.com I don't think that I would have been able to make it this far. Keep reaching for the STARS. There are enough stars for everyone and we all deserve them. Thank you so much, and I hope that all of your dreams come true and I cannot wait to be on the the losers side. Love you, guys. Also a special thanks to a very good friend and My ANGEL, Patti, you are wonderful in every way and a very beuatiful person. I hope one day that I can be your angel in return somehow. Patti, you have made it possible for me to have this surgery. Without you guidence, support and lectures about smoking I would not be here. I'll see you on the other side Patti, soon I will be able to say that I am a loser too!! LOVE YA LOTS:o) Every one Keep Smiling:o)
