Just checking in
My surgery was 1 year ago today. Just wanted to give an update
I have lost 110.5 pounds from my highest known weight and 102.5 since my day of surgery.
I am off all meds (diabetes, cholesterol, depression, blood pressure and CPCP)
I have gone from a tight 2x top and 22W pants to med/small tops and 12P-8P pants, depending on type and brand
My life is so different today than it was 3/24/08 - and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have this life changing surgery.
I hope to lose 15-20 more pounds, but ya know what - if I don't it will be ok - all my main goals have been accomplised and life is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Congratulations!!! You've done an amazing job. If you never lose another pound, you've done a great job, but if my experience and those of a number of others that have been done this road hold true, you probably aren't done yet. It often will take another 3 to 6 months before it's all said and done. Keep up the good work!
Wishing you continued success,
