Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 ann, When I was just starting this journey, I despaired that I would be THE one whose DS wouldn't work. But now, even though I still have 60-70 lb. to go to my Goal, I have faith that I WILL get there. The posts of other post-ops like M. et al. gave me that hope and strength to continue. May our stories (though still on-going) give you the same strength and hope. Marcia Re: woo..hoo Marcia, I am so happy for you...what a wonderful feeling!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2001 Report Share Posted November 8, 2001 Congratulations Marcia and ! I hope and pray that someday in the not to distant future I can report results like that, though I will have to loose close to 200 lbs to achieve that goal. It's just so exciting to read about all of your successes, it makes me feel that sometimes dreams can come true. Thank you all for your inspirational stories! ann Re: woo..hoo Marcia, I am so happy for you...what a wonderful feeling!
