2 years today - awesomeness
Two years ago today I had the best procedure I could have ever dreamed of. The picture on the left is Oct 2014 which is when I actually decided to research the vertical sleeve and on the right is Dec 2016. I am truly blessed for so many reasons;
-Finding this forum and joining June 2014 and reading and reading and reading - thank you all. I still read faithfully everyday. I don't post much because I am on my phone.
-Approved for surgery, losing 124 lbs, normal BMI, car steering wheel not rubbing my tummy and fitting into airplane seats with room to spare.
-Clothes and undergarments size changing-amazing (my experience, pants 26 to 10, shirts 26W to ladies XL, on and on)
-No medical complications at all. My surgery was out patient in at 7:00am and home by 4:30pm same day. Yes there was soreness, but thanks to this forum and my doctor I knew what to expect.
-I still have the same fitbit I purchased prior to surgery.
-I log everything I eat and weigh almost everyday (unless vacation).
-I have completed 5 5K's with a mix of walk run - I have no other goals other than to just keep moving.
-My tool has worked so well but I know it still depends on my choices and actions because it's just a tool.
Everyone have a great day and happy anniversary to my little tummy.
