"Thanks for playing ball with us Mom. I can't ever remember you playing with us before." Those words were music to my ears after I decided to get out in the back yard with my two sons and husband for a game of wiffle ball. I hit the ball, ran the bases and caught my husband's fly ball. We all laughed and had a great time. Five months ago I would have been listening to that laughter from inside the house. By the way, the son that said those words is 13 years old! I am so glad I still have time to make some new and better memories with my kids. This surgery is the best decision for myself and my family that I have ever made. If you have not had it yet, you won't be sorry! It changes your life for the better.

Bravo!! It's moments like this that make it all worth it!

Thank you for sharing that memory .... Very awesome!

That is so awesome! Thank you for taking time to share your moment with us. It touched my heart in a very moving way.

from the mouths of babes

one of the most common reasons people say about having WLS, is they want to be around for their kids, grand-kids, family et al

you are obviously raising a "cool" kiddo

oh oh, you are gonna continue to "enjoy' the teen years

congrats on your weight loss

keep up the good work

So wonderful! It is a great feeling to have your child see you in a new light. The first time my 21 year old son called me "skinny" I thought I'd burst into tears with joy. Last week he grabbed my skinny jeans thinking they were his. I have been fat/obese most of his life. It was truly one off the best decisions of my life!!

Great NSVs!! Good for you all!

My very quiet, rather morose, 19 y.o. son told me other day that I looked nice and that he could really tell a difference. High praise coming from him.

That baseball conversation is one that I totally look forward to, been listening to fun from inside the house for way too long:(

So Fantastic for you to hear these words. I am inspired by your story. It's time to play ball.

Congrats
