miss meliss

Miss Meliss- I am Marty- I am 44 and live in NH with my DH and 2 wonderful kids ages 7 & 5- your pictures brought me to tears just now. I am so happy for you and I pray that I will have those smiles someday - I have not taken any pictures of myself with my kids for most of theri lifetime or I have cut myself out whenever possible and I LOVE photos- I am scheduled for teh band on Feb 17th and am so motivated by your success. You have sister who you love as do I and I am hoping to inspire my one sisiter with success so that she will do this. I am getting very nervous about post op and life after the band- any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I was NOT going to take a before picture but if someday I can inspire someone the way you just did for me than i will get over my ego and do it ( iwon't look at it though!)....thanks again and congratulations on all of your hard work....
