10 Year Anniversary
Today (July 7) is my 10 year anniversary. From 225 lbs to 116 lbs and enjoying life. Was a rough start in the beginning but I would do it all again to have the health I have now that wouldn't have been possible without surgery. I can eat whatever I want and honestly no one could tell by the portion sizes that I have had WLS. Life is NORMAL!
Good luck to all those who are considering WLS even if it isn't a DS. This was the best choice for me.
Happy surgiversary! : )
