Banded in Mexico - 120 lbs down - 2nd Anniversary

I'm celebrating because I'm celebrating my second anniversary of the best thing I ever did for my health -- the lap band surgery in Tijuana, Mexico with the Obesity Goodbye group -- and I've lost 120 lbs. never to regain it. I went from a tight size 28 to a size 14 with about 40 more lbs. to go. I read an article yesterday and saw a TV news story from the American Medical Association (AMA) about a study conducted that proved that 73% of all Type 2 diabetes was reversed (no more medications) with weight loss surgery. This made me so happy, because I was on my way down that horrible road, along with hormonal, thyroid, sleeping problems and acid reflux! I can say today I take no meds other than a multi-vitamin. I'm so happy I could just shout!!!
