Actually 12/10 was the date i was revised from RNY to DS. 12/17 one week later I was back in surgery for a leak. I have started, stopped, restarted, and erased a few posts. This is a huge date right? Right!! What to say? Write about the past, RNY and failures? The road to DS revision? The surgery or resulting complications? Fears, uncertainties, milestones, and victories? Recovery with it's ups and downs? I do not have the gift of gab. I am not eloquent and it has never been easy for me to put myself out there. I avoid drama, confrontation and bickering. This board and all of its members have meant so much to me. Laughter, tears, outrage have moved me deeply. Thank you all for being so generous with your life experiences, personal tragedies and victories. The advise and information so freely given has kept me form panicking and helped me heal. I am not 100% but man I feel exponentially better then I did an couple of months ago and I know in a couple of more I will be closer still. My advise is to research and question everything. Consider the source of those answers. Try not to compare yourself with others everyone is different. Oh and deep breathing really does help! Best, Whitney    |

Congratulations, Whit! YOU have also inspired so many others by putting yourself out there and talking about your experience. You did not have an easy go of it by any means, but look at you now! I just keep seeing the 'Whit in a Box' pic in my mind! You have come so far and will continue to feel better and better and enjoy life as it should be enjoyed! WTG!!!!

Perspective is a funny thing...
From this side you seem wise beyond your 12 months, and bring so much to the community.

Thanks everyone. I could never have done this without you guys. My issues were worse then some but there are so may others who have had it far worse. I think I have been pretty lucky in comparison.
I added pictures they were shot today.
Happy Anniversary Sharyl.
