Default Deja-Vu? NOT!!!!

Last year at this time I remember going to my grand-daughter's Christmas program. I had to squeeze between a big pillar and the pew to get a seat, and I'll never forget what happened! I got stuck!!! In front of a whole church of people no less! My dh and daughters had to push and pull me to keep moving. I made my decision that night that I was going to have wls, no matter how long it took me!!
Last night was her Christmas program. I went right to the aisle I got stuck in last year. But this time I moved gracefully past that darn pillar and sat down like a queen being crowned! I crossed my new boot- clad legs, sat on my short skirted hiney and was smiling, but I had tears in my eyes, remembering the humiliation of last year, and feeling the triumph of this year! It was so overwhelming! Next Monday I am chaperoning my grand-daughter's class trip! I never would have volunteered to do that. We are going...get this..roller skating!!!!!!! I havent done that in 30 years!! Life is so good, even though I'm facing some challenges of a personal nature right now. But I know God is good!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

I am so proud and happy for you! I'm so looking forward to those moments. Those wow moments that make you realize all you had been missing. Crossing our legs, fitting through spaces once unimaginable, and roller skating. Have a blast and congrats again!

I am so very happy for you. These are the moments that mean the most. I do not think anyone who was not obese would understand how wonderful they really are.

Keep up the great work.

You've come a long ways, little sister!! It's been a treat watching your progress over the last year. It's been a challenging ride, but you hung on and made it happen.

Way to go !!! That is wonderful. You have done so well. I know how you feel. My moment was when I went to watch my grandchild cheer and had to be carried back to my car in an emergency vehicle because I almost passed out. Talk about embarrassing. My knees gave under with all the weight they had to carry. Then I had a doctor tell me that there is no way I could have knee replacement surgery because of my weight and that I would be in a wheel chair or walker for the rest of my life. Boy was that doctor wrong. This surgery can really change our life.
I know your family is proud of you. Keep up the good work. Many more great wows to come for you.
