I'm Three Today!

May 30, 2003

Well, today is my three year anniversary. Wow, what a three years it has

been! Just this past week, I was at the lab getting my regular work up...and

the

girl commented on the amount of tests that had to be taken. So, I told her,

I was a post gastric bypass patient, and did this all quite regularly. She

wanted to know how much I had lost, and I told her 184 lbs, and handed her my

card with my before and after pictures. She got very excited, and asked if she

could show it to the girls up front. I said...sure...so off she went. When

I had gotten my sleeve back down and my jacket on, I started to leave, and

walked out in the office to 4 women standing there staring at me with their

mouths open! There were a couple of lab techs, an RN, and an office girl. The

questions began...one of them was overweight, and said her daughter was thinking

about this. They were just flabbergasted...as if I was the only GBP patient

they had ever seen or met up close. It was such fun. The nurse said I should

be in the newspaper...as they are interested in " successes " like me. I

said... " no...they are more interested in failures. " Anyway, the upshot of this

pointless story is that I left the card with the one woman, to give to her

daughter. It also has the name and address and phone number to IMNSHO the best

surgeon in the state of Washington, and perhaps the country. As I walked out of

the lab, I heard them murmurring, and one word stood out and rang in my

ears.... " remarkable! " Well, that is a good word to sum up my past three

years...Remarkable~!~ And I'm having a very happy Anniversary, thank you very

much! I

even sang to myself today, after I dropped off a friend that I took to the

doctor....Happy Anniversary to ME! LOL! I wish you all the same success!

Regards~
