2 year Update-

I know my profile is a little behind but it is now just over 2 years. I have lost a total of 196 lbs and 239.75 inches. I have been on a plateau now for about 6 months, but I try to look at that as not such a bad thing. I see it as the first time in my life that I have been able to maintain at a certain weight and not gain. The journey has been a long learning curve ( more like a mini rollercoaster) just when you think you got some part of this figured out the darn pouch changes its mind and reminds me who is in charge here. I would do this again in a heartbeat. I am thank full each day for the new chances I have been given do to having this surgery and for al the new friends that I have made as result of this. Especially my angel Mzmisty, she was there for me on surgery day and is still a big part of my journey. I think I learn more each time I meet with my new friends and other patients and we exchange our concerns and issues ( good and bad) get new ideas. I think knowledge, good support and a good Dr is the key to success. And I hope to be able to help others the way others helped me when I started my journey just over 2 years ago.
