6 Months and 121 lbs gone!!!

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted in awhile because, well, things have been crazy busy and I've been out living the new life that the surgery has given me. Yesterday was my 6 month Surgiversary and it's amazing how much weight I've lost and how much healthier I am now in only 6 months. I've lost 121 lbs from my highest weight **** from my pre-surgery weight). Everything has changed. I'm constantly told that I look at least 10 years younger, I can travel comfortably (no more seatbelt extender and uncomfortable flights!), I no longer have to use a CPAP (sleep apnea gone!).  And I'm dating again, which is a whole novel in itself (lol).  I have all my six month follow-up appointments at TWH today, so if any of you are there too, please come and say hi - I'm the tall, dare I say almost skinny, blonde with a huge smile on her face. 

Those of you who are still on the fence about the surgery (I was right up to the last month before I was scheduled for it) know that it will likely be the best decision you ever make in your life. And it is true what I used to hear the vets say...my only regret is not having done it sooner. 

Hope everyone is well and thanks again to all the people on this site who gave me support before and after the surgery!
