Today is my 5th surgerversary!

I am celebrating my 4th year as a normal weight person. I had the gastric bypass in 2009. It took about 14 months to lose 135 pounds. I now weigh 135, so I am exactly 1/2 the woman I used to be! The only real health issue I have experienced is an internal hernia that was the result of the WLS. That occurred last April. I can eat about a cup full now and that scares me to no end as I am so afraid of regaining weight. I have issues with reactive hypoglycemia so I really have to be mindful of carbohydrates.(probably a good thing) I take lots of vitamins all day long. I have had my arms done, my upper eyelids, and lower jaw skin tightened. People told me I looked 70 right after the weight loss. At the time I was 51. That was depressing.  The plastic surgery helped and now I look more my age.  All in all, I would do it again in a heart beat.
