Wow! 20 yrs out!! you have done an amazing job! Congrats on the hardwork and the weightloss. Keep up the good work!

Amazing & inspirational. Congratulations. Kathy C.

Wow 20 years, I have read so many threads where people gain weight back, thank you for sharing this with us. I know everyone does not gain it back. This post makes me have hope all over again.

Indeed, 20 years is fantastic!! I imagine that it will always be a struggle, making the reality even stronger that this surgery is only a tool and not a cure. I'm real happy for you that you have been successful and wish you continue success in your journey. Thank you very much for sharing! Dee
