Hi Cammi, where in Indiana do you live? I live in Laporte, Indiana, just south
of Lake Michigan. I had Open RnY two months ago, and now I’m down 50 pounds.
Unbelievable! Lynn

Happy Thanksgiving Tammy,
Yeah I know what you
mean about wondering if you have done the right thing.
My first few weeks after the surgery were fairly
rough, although not as rough as I have heard others
have. But the bonus is I NOW feel great! I had my
surgery August 2, 1999 (open RNY) and I have now lost 62
pounds! Just when I feel like maybe I am slowing down…
does anyone actually notice… then I get a wonderful
comment from someone! This past 2 weeks I am actually
getting comments from strangers! The cashier at the
grocery store stopped me one day and asked why I looked
different.. I said hmm… "no cane"… "no walker"… "no
glasses"… "make-up"… "curled my hair"… "and I have lost
about 60 pounds!" It was such a great feeling when I
got to the weight loss comment and I saw the lights

go off in her mind! It has had me floating around
for days now! And then there are the people from
church… I know I am really looking good… and all these
comments show it!

But the biggest bonus for me is
my physical well being! I have had 10 surgeries in
the past 3 years because of a traumatic car accident,
well I have ruptured another disk in my back! The
doctor told me Wednesday how proud of me he is for all
the weight I have lost and agreed with me if I was
still carrying the extra 60 poundss I would be in the
hospital again, not talking about options with
him!

So all in all you are $20,000 in debt… but your
health will thank you in your longevity of life will
thank you very soon! Just chin up and keep reading…
we are allhere for eachother… and this
Thanksgiving I am thankful for finding this club and everyone
in it!
God’s Peace to all of you!
Cindy
aka
gonna do it this time!
