4 year anniversary

Today is my 4 year anniversary!!! I can't believe it has been that long since I had my surgery. I was #15 at the Mercy Weight Loss Clinic. I have had struggles along the way that is for sure. Weight gain however I have started back at the basics per drs. order due to my bleeding ulcer and have lost 22 pounds so far. I am so motivated to get back down below 200 pounds. I plan on getting there by Sept. 1st. That is my goal. At some point in the near future I would like to have a TT done to get rid of all of this skin. I know i would be able to fit into at least a size smaller. :) I have had doubts of doing this along the way and with my recent ulcer and iron problems I was wondering what in the world I did. Then I was thinking I should have had the lap band and wouldn't have to deal with the malabsorbtion problem ever and possibly not even the ulcers. Oh well, hind sight is 20/20. I have been very blessed with my son, *****cently turned 2. Without this surgery, I don't know if I would have been able to have him. For that I am so thankful. Good Luck to all of you who have started your journeys and to the old timers, keep up the good work. Stephanie

Congrats on 4 years!  I just had my 3 year.  I understand your doubts.  I've had them lately myself wondering if the lap band wouldn't have been a better choice with the issues I'm facing right now. 

Congrats and keep up with getting to your goal!
