    Congratulations Sarah! You have done so much in such a short time. You have been invaluable in my journey and I am sure in many others' lives. You are deeply admired and loved by all of us. So glad to have met you and get to follow your journey. Big hug!

    Congratulations and l So Know The Feelings of Being Blessed-Being "FREE" and Knowing That WE Have Done The Work. l Hate the Fact That People Think There ls A Certain Time Frame WE Must Put on Being At or Getting To Goal. NO, lt's All ln Time Of When YOUR Body Gets There Just Continue To Do The Work and lt Will Come. This ls The Gift Of A New Life, Change of Mind, Body, and Soul, and Clearer Understanding Of Healthy Eating That WE Now Can Realize, Know, and Understand ls So Possible For US All. YOU Have Done lt, Embraced lt, Dedicated YOURSELF To lt, and Made lt So Real For All Of US To Witness!!! Wonderful, Wonderful Journey!!!

    I have so much to say Sarah and I'm afraid you'll want me to shut up already! this has to be one of the very best wls yt videos ever. You have such a beautiful way with words. what an incredible letter to you. your letter shows how much you worked on you prior to surgery. it shows how much desire for freedom you had, despite having no idea what wls could bring. congratulations on every single tiny particle of love of self that you have gained. the caterpillar is so cliche because it is so perfect. it is just like that. every day I am shocked by yet another discovery of how my weight affected me, my life and my family. I am so grateful for you and the way you inspire me and so many others. what a blessing to touch others lives and to make a difference. You are truly beautiful Sarah. thank you for sharing you. I have a new found respect and gained more love for you watching this video. you are amazing hun. the world is yours. God bless and Happy Anniversary of Life!..love, Kami

    Hi! I am amazed u had such foresight a year ago. Love how u said being strong enough to admit failure, and brave enough to do something about it--cuz that the key--we have to always be willing even when the "fight" makes us weary. At least, I think so.

    I started watching you fairly far into your journey, so it's so crazy to me to see how far you've come since then let alone all the way back to the beginning! You are the poster woman for what can be done with VSG if you are willing to work hard. You inspire the hell out of me. -Phil

    Sarah,
    You are such an amazing person. I absolutely loved this video. The encouragement you give out to others is priceless. Your a beautiful person and I hope to be able to catch up on your videos as I patiently wait to get my surgery date. I wish I could let the words flow as easily as you do in your videos.
    Congratulations on your 1yr amazing accomplishment.
    Take care

  • @erinwarren4906
    @erinwarren4906 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    That letter was everything! You said you wish you could say those words to all pre-op vsg patients and I just wanted to say, YOU ARE! Or at least you are to those who ate obsessive planners/researchers and who are unable to subscribe without watching every video in order...lol. Anyway, thank you!

    I am so happy for you and your success! I have been hopscotching around your vlogs for the last little while trying to get as much info as possible. I recently started the pre-op process - blood work, psych eval, etc. I am really interested in learning more about why you chose Mexico and that facility. I have considered going to Mexico myself as it is MUCH cheaper than where I am looking to have it done. If you have talked about the why before just point me in the right direction. :) I have watched your vlogs when you were in surgery etc. and read your blogs about it. Any info would help. :D Thanks again for your honest account of this process...I hope to be free one day too.

    Your so amazing!!! I am so happy for your success. I can only hope I am where you are this time next year. I have love each of your videos and you have helped me so much. I can't wait to see how your next year plays out and I can't wait to see you hit goal. Question are you going to continue weekly videos?? Hugs!

  • @kimeezvsgdream8277

    That's Sarah. I think it's such a great idea to write yourself a letter. I love it and will do that for myself as well. I have gone back and watched many of your videos and have learned a lot. Some of my favorites are this one, the one with your hubby and the one with Nerd in Oregon. I have my first consultation with my surgeon. I am excited, but fearful. Do you have any suggestions for questions I should ask him at the first consultation? Thank you for your help and keep it up!

    Sarah, I am soo proud of you! And also super proud to call you my friend. You've come such a long way in this journey and you will continue to go even further. Meeting you and the other girls and guys on this path have truly been one of the best things in my life. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. Looking forward to being old crusty flabby bitches together (unless we have more surgery of course lol). But seriously, you look amazing and are totally one of my role models :) I love you girl! I've made you my bitch, now let's rock!!!
