Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Today is a Big Day for me Today is a Big Day for me. I don't normally chart my weight loss until Monday morning. However, I did chart it today. I have lost 125 pounds as of this morning. Four months ago this morning, I was being wheeled into an operating room for the very first time in my life. I did not expect exhileration, I did not expect to be intoxicated by life, I did not expect to make, what I consider to be really, really great new friends. I just wanted to have a chance at living again. I am pretty sure, no, I know for a fact, I received all of the above. I am routinely exhilerated at the results that GBS has brought me. Watching, actually seeing my fat melt away. I continue to live in an intoxicated state, intoxicated by the comments, compliments, support, results - you name it. Can life really continue to get better than it is right now still weighing 313 pounds? That is difficult to comprehend. Friends. Let me say, that I have made a group of new friends, that have shared similar experiences - that have become real friends. People that I know I could go to with GBS issues, or personal issues. People that look out for me and lovingly warn me when I say something stupid, which can be often. And I know that I am living again. This week I was lucky and happened to see the first Robin fly into the neighborhood. Several hours later there were 20 or so in my yard. The sights and sounds of spring are commencing in my neighborhood. I always look forward to that. The first Robin. The rebirth of the new year. The new progression of seasons. This year, the sights and sound of spring have commenced in my life. The rebirth of a vibrant, healthy man. A new progression in life that I, for one look forward too! Yep, I am definitely living again.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | Congratulations on the 125 mark!!  Robins and Spring has come.  Here, it's the Uguisu, Japanese bush warblers that chirp "ho-hokekkyo, ho-hokekkyo." And I heard it yesterday morning as I was getting out of my car at work.

| I agree with a PP. You are an inspiration. I Love to read what you've written. Do you, by chance, write for a living?? I look forward to having a similar outlook myself. The rebirth of a new ME. I hope you're wife is feeling good after her surgery and recovering nicely. How can she not with a husband like you by her side?? BTW... we've got robins here in Western/upstate NY now. SAw the first one last week. It's wonderful. I used to live in Omaha... a neighbor hood at 153 and Pacific. I went to Westside Baptist Church near BoysTown. I loved it there. Take care and keep up the positive attitude. It's Inspiring.

I live very near 168th and Harrison, so we were kinda neighbors, but I have only been here for 1.5 years. I am originally from San Diego, but lived in upstate NY for 10 years. We go to Brookside Church and really like it.
