"I WISH YOU ENOUGH" I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** I wish you all the very best on your surgery, a speedy problem free recovery and a rapid weight loss. Remember this: the WAIT is worth the loss of WEIGHT!!! You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about it's width and depth. BLESS YOU!!! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* BOTH DOUG AND I HAD OPEN RNY'S. I (NANCY) HAD MINE ON JUNE 28, 2001 AND DOUG HAD HIS ON OCT. 9, 2001. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF OUR LIVES. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************** I GUESS I BETTER SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS!!!

WE BOTH HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR DR. RUMSEY AND HIS STAFF. WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER TREATMENT BY THE CLINIC STAFF AND ALSO THE HOSPITAL STAFF. I HIGHLY RECOMMENT THEM TO ANYONE!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND WE WISH YOU EVERY SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% NOVEMBER 2002: Well, Doug has now lost 215 lbs and Nancy has lost 110. Doug is getting really skinny!!! He may be at goal. We both go to our surgeon for a check up on nov. 11 and we will find out if he thinks Doug is done!!! Nancy (me!) wants to lose about 30 more lbs. We have both decided NOT to have any more surgery such as a tummy tuck. Our lives are so rich now. We both feel wonderful and we do not miss all the food we thought we would. You can improvise and make wonderful meals. Our diet is pretty restricted compared to the diets we read about on AMOS. We do not eat bread, beef, pork, cereal and a lot of other things that others eat. We are going to talk to our dr and find out if we are being to restrictive.

OK, Jennifer, only 7 1/2 weeks to go...keep up the momentum and excitement. Don't let the doubts of whether or not you are doing the right thing cloud all the hard work you have already gone through to get this far.
