Wow... still going strong. Just wondering how everyone is doing. MJ and I got divorced, she was right about many things we as WL patient need to be aware of new addictions. MJ and I had a great friendship and we both should have kept it that way. I hope the best for her, and her new life. Mine is kindda status Quo, Weight is much harder to loose these days, had a period of gain and now back on track loosing. It really is much easier gang to just never start the bad habits after surgery. I will share back to protien drinks gallons of water and sending that evil sugar back to it's grave. I feel the difference, and beginning to see it. Wonder if anyone made Daytona this yr on their Deluxe???? Maybe I will get an answer...... See ya all keep up the good work James

GREETING fellow Loosers and Soon To Be Loosers. I missed coming here for my Birthday. I was cut July 5, 2001. Wow that long ago. I am very lucky things have gone pretty good for me. I like everyone else have had my emotional moments and had some trying times there for a while. I have found my center with just me right now. I expereinced a bad marriage and some bad decision making skills. I got wrapped up into doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. I am pleased to say that my weight loose is still doing well. I have good days and I still have bad days. I still have days where I throw up if I eat to fast or the wrong thing. Chinese Food kills me. I will just say good by to it,even the healthy chinese food. Not sure what that is all about. Well I have decided to seek my support through these pages again and hope to begin to be able to offer support and get support from others. I have said it before and will say it again the journey is never over. Our problem never goes away, but We do beginto manage it differently. I want to tell all of you Thank you and share with all of you getting ready to do this be prepared. The journey is not a walk in the park. Make sure you seek your balance and keep focused on you goals. To those whom have supported me and my brothers and sisters who have done this Keep up the good luck Keep loosing and keep managing the weight instead of it managing you...... I am all about my new life...... thanks

Greeting everyone. I have been away for a while. But I thought I would stop in and just say hello. I also know that we tend to move in new directions after bariatric surgery and that we sometimes forget where we came from. I hope that there is some new person out there reading this right now wondering if bariatric surgery is the right anser for them. I know it was the best thing in the world for me. I have lost over 370 lbs and feel wonderful. I had my surgery July 5 2001. WOW almost three yrs ago now. I remember it like it was yesterday. What has changed in my life... Well just about everything. I found a wonderful wife through a support group. Yes she has done wonderful as well with her surgery Mary-Jo and I were married 6 months ago. We have a business together and have found a new life on the back of our Harley Davidson Road King. I feel fanatastic and life has never been so much fun. I know that all my problems did not go away with the surgery but for the first time in my life I feel like I have some control over the weight. I am loving life and believe that if your thinking about this it is the best thing in the world. It is not the answer to our weight issue but boy does it give us a fighting chance. I LOVE YA DR FALLON!!!!! Thanks for my life back. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!

Wow!! What an inspirational story. It's great to read your encouraging words. My husband is in the early stages of this journey, and I will follow him after we are sure he has recovered sufficiently. Thank you for your encouragement.
