One Year Anniversary

Today is one year ago that I had my lap RNY with Dr. Bell. Boy has my life changed!!! I cannot believe it! I went out today and bought a size medium dress (short I might add)! It felt soooo wonderful to look in the mirror and not see me 80 lbs ago! It has been a long, hard road, but worth every mile. If you are considering this surgery, please do yourself the best favor you ever can and have it! Thanks to all of you who support me every day here on the CT Boards. You guys are the best! xoxoxo JA -80lbs
