Welcome to my personal
webpage.... a look into what I'm thinking, what
I'm dreaming, what I'm fearing.
My name
is Kris. I had gastric bypass surgery
(roux-en-y) on November 8, 2004 with Dr. Brad
Amson, a Canadian Surgeon in Victoria, BC; it
was the best decision for me, one I am happy I
made - and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
I have a
beautiful daughter (age 7), a very loving and
supportive husband of eight years, and as of
September 15, 2006 a new baby boy.
The journey of my life, which led me to the
decision to seek medical help for my weight
problem is a very personal one.
My weight has effected my
relationships over the years, caused me to lose
out on better jobs and held me back from
experiencing life to it's fullest. For
those that have never had a weight problem, you
will probably ask "why not diet"? "Why not
exercise"? "Why such an extreme
procedure?" To those of you I say, I tried
the diets, I tried Weight Watchers, I tried
Overeaters Anonymous, I tried the gym,
I tried the newest fad diets, etc.
All of these, and more, never lasted.
Bottom line is, I needed help! I couldn't
do it on my own. I had reached the point
where I was in pain from my weight, the point
where I questioned if I would live out the next
20 years because of my weight. And the
crux was, I didn't want my daughter growing up
thinking it was "ok" and "healthy" to be
overweight; I wanted her to grow up with a
mother, with me here as an example to healthy
living. Now I have the chance to do this!
I have the chance to be free, to be happy, full
of humour, to BE.
My
journal has helped keep me honest, my weight
loss surgery support group is there to hear my
woes and exhilarations, and my family is there
to love me unconditionally. To all
those that have supported me now and in the
past, THANK YOU!
You are all such an important part of ME and I
thank you from the bottom of my heart for being
there, in person and in spirit.

Angels Hugging Angels
Have you ever found
a friend that just touches you deep inside
You feel a special bond that you simply cannot
hide
You give them a piece of your heart, a view of
what you are
Sometimes they live close to you, sometimes they
live too far.
It really doesn't
matter, you were friends from the start
Soon you realize their memory is a piece of your
heart
You feel like they're an angel, placed here just
for you
You are always amazed at the sweet things that
they do.
You don't have to
see them or talk to them every day
To know that God has sent them in His own special
way
How else could you explain, this friendship and
deep love
It must be an angel, sent from heaven above.
How can you love
someone you've never really seen
The question you may ask, Is this just a dream?
Soon you realize, your feelings are quite sincere
Your friendship will continue year after year.
Funny when you talk
you both seem to disagree
I think you're the angel and you think it is me
When you really look at it, you have to smile and
say
The touching of our souls has taken place again
today.
Tonight as I said
my prayers, I prayed for my friend
I could not hardly wait until we talked once again
For God showed me the answer, it was really quite
simple
A soul never sees a face, it would not recognize a
dimple.
The feeling of love
one feels for another friend
The feeling of wanting to be with each other again
Is the inner joy, that God places there
The love one feels on top of heaven's stairs.
So if you are lucky
and you have found such a friend
Remember it is God, who lives deep within
It is God's wishes, to one day look to see
Angels Hugging Angels, perhaps it's you and me.
