Hi! My name is Dana & I live in Sammamish, WA.I had an open distal

RNY with Dr. Oh on Sept.26 2002. To date I have lost a 180lbs & am 30

lbs to goal. I feel GREAT!

A few yrs ago I went to a Dr. Fox WLS intro meeting in Tacoma Wa. &

meet this " spicy " little red-head with a wicked sense of humor. Her

name was . Many of you know her as " Vitalady " . She had just

had revision surgery & was there to talk about protein drinks & her 2

surgeries. What I didn't know...was this would be the person would

would help me change my life... save my life!

helped me to find a " right fit " surgeon as well as this

group.

Many of you will never know how much your posts give support to pre-

ops & new posts-ops that are looking to those that have gone before

them, living their lives... and learning from each other with

dedication,honesty, and passion.

It's the incredible support that you all give each other (even if you

don't always agree) that is so amazing and helpful to the rest of us

out there!

*** And a special thanks to who is such a wonderful,

selfless person... it is hard to put your boundless kindness into

words.

I just hope someday that I can help someone the way that you all do

everyday!

Thanks for letting me be a part of this group!
