Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hi, 9/13/99.....3 years ago I started my REBIRTH. A second chance at life. Although there have been some setbacks, I'm well on my way to a long enjoyable life. No one said it would be easy, lots of adjustments and still have some eating issues that I will have to battle for the rest of my long life. Having the support of my beautiful family and great friends really made it a lot easier. 3 years ago i made the commitment to change my life. if i were to die tomorrow it was well worth it.. i can do anything i want now. i can bike 50 miles without stopping, why you might ask....cause i can. ask me why i scuba dive....cause i can, why i jet ski, parasail, and umpire 10 games week....cause i can, can, and can. i have put my former fat life behind me, but i don't want to forget it. I am at the highest point of my life...being the macho man that I am I can tell you I cry when I look at my life now and how extremely happy and blessed I am. every morning I thank God and my doc for saving my life. I am so appreciative of what I have. I'm looking forward to growing old with my beautiful wife and family....for all my WLS thanks for always being there, you are like my second family...thank you all love ya your friend in WLS surgery Doug pre-op 500lbs 9/13/99 post-op 185lbs 9/13/02 gone forever 315lbs Doctor Gagner Mt Sinai Hospital Manhattan NY bpd/ds lap ******************************************************************** this surgery is not just about what we lose but what we gain......a new life of health and happiness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
