Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Greetings all! Three years ago today, I was preparing to make a journey I could not be prepared for. Three years ago today, I crossed over from death to life. Three years ago today, I began to find my true self. Three years ago today, God blessed me with WLS. As I sit here, thinking of what to say on this anniversary, one thing stands out. I AM ALIVE! What more could I want? WLS saved my life. I am forever grateful to my surgeon, Greenbaum, my support group, my blood family, my husband, my email list families (especially my own groups the Bariatric Bunch and OSSG-WLSChristian), my best friend Carla, and my Lord. All of these contributed to who I am today. Am I at goal? No. Would I like to have things nipped and tucked? Surely! Do I still struggle with food issues? Most assuredly! Do I often wish I could down a 2 liter of Pepsi and a Porterhouse Steak? Of course!! Would I change a thing that happened 3 years ago? NO WAY! I know that those who are beginning this journey really cannot be prepared for what the future holds for you. Let me just say that it is journey with bumps, valleys, mountains, but the destination is totally worth the trip. Three years ago today I weighed in at 530 pounds. I had sleep apnea, stress incontinence, back pain, leg and foot problems, asthma, chronic bronchitiis problems, and numrous other illnesses. Today, none of these are present! Thank God for WLS! Thank you for all the emails and well wishes I have gotten. Thank you all for being there for me. Thank you for just being. And again, Thank God for WLS!
