This is my message from A Positive Thought:

I let go of my old life patterns.I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now I commit myself to regaining my life and letting the Rosey Posey in myself free. I no longer need a wall of flesh between me and the world .Join me please as I bloom in your friendship. 09/16/2016

Half of the battle for successful weight loss surgery is a positive attitude, and you've got that covered.

I really liked the line about no longer needing "a wall of flesh between me and the world" - very apropos. ????

WOW!!! Hi Candidate while reading this post I noticed something awesome. I had my RNY July 2, 2013. I am 5.4 and our STATS: are pretty close. LOL My HW 249 SW 232 CW 125#'s. I went below my Dr.'s goal weight I lost down to 117#'s Both my Surgegon and my PCP were getting worried because they thought I was losing muscle. But after the problems with my last Strictures ( I had to have % endoscopes with 4 Dialations starting in Nov of 2013 and my last one being Jan of 2015) I did gain up to 125#'s. It was amazing that I felt so much healthier after gaining 8#'s. I have been in Maintenance and am still holding my own. I was on 12 different meds including insulin for my diabetes. I am now all meds for it and was right out of the Hospital. Now I take 4 plus my Vitamins!! BIG DEAL if you ask me!! I can now exercise ( which I also have Fibromylgia, Arthritis also) So the exercise helps with that. I walk 4 miles 4 times a week and I am thinking I might up it to 5 days a week which I would never had been able to before!! Life is GREAT!! This has been a life saver for me!! BTW CONGRADULATIONS Well done my friend!!
