Three years ago today I had my life-changing surgery. My stats then and now: (And dumb me measured a week after surgery!) then now neck 16.5 14 bust 49 38 ribcage 46 35 waist 49 33 hips 51 38 left thigh 27 21.5 left arm 17 11 left calf 17.5 14 Inches lost: 68.5 SOLID inches! My weight has gone from 278 (highest) to 158, (-120 lbs) and I've gone from size 3X tops and size 22 bottoms to size M/L or 14 tops and 12 bottoms. Of course I would do it again in a heartbeat! My stats would be better if I could afford PS to get rid of the flubber--especially in the mid-section and waist, and under the bra band. HOWEVER--I am VERY happy with the way I am now!

Sue, You are an inspiration to me! You show me that I can lose my weight and I can keep it off long term. My biggest fear in this whole journey is regaining the weight. And here you are, 3 years later, still healthy, still slim, still happy, still looking gorgeous!

Congratulations on this MAJOR accomplishment!!! I'm mentally throwing confetti over your head!!!

Thank you, Linda! Gee- it really doesn't seem like three years. It seems like a few months ago that this journey started for me. But what a wonderful journey this has been! Thanks for being such a great cheerleader and role model! (((HUGS))) **SUE**

Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~

WTG Sue, You give me hope that when I'm 3 years out I will still have kept the weight off. Like Debi said that is a fear of mine too. Wow, 65.5 inches, Amazing.......And 120 pounds. You've rocked this tool, CONGRAT'S.
