It actually passed me by without me even realizing it. Thank goodness the website sent a reminder.I still am loving my surgery. I am the same size since year 4. It still blows my mind to get out clothes for a new season and they still fit. That I can buy something on super sale like a sweater in Spring and the next fall it is still going to fit.I am blessed each day with better health.I am lucky enough that my primary job is a pool supervisor at the YWCA so I can exercise 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day and get paid for it.Still come here to the message board for accountability and to play it forward.
My attitude is still grattitude!
Gratitude is my attitude

 My DS mentor - happy surgiversary!     I'm so glad you stopped by to let us celebrate with you.    To me, having my clothes fit from year to year is one of the most delightful reminders of my DS success.     Can't wait to read your 20 year post, LOL!
