2 YEARS AND 202 POUNDS!!!!

My WLS anniversary is 02/16 and to date I have lost 202 pounds. Two years ago I made the decision to take back my life. It was a personal decision which we have all made for our own reasons. I just got to the point where it was now or never, I had tried EVERYTHING else and been overweight my entire adult life. It has not been an easy road. I have had several additional surgeries, including my gallbladder out, an intestinal blockage and just 3 weeks ago a foot of my colon removed. With all that being said, I would have the surgery again tomorrow if I needed to. Because even with all the road bumps it has been worth it. My life has been changed forever. I am happier and healthier than I have ever been and smaller. Here is a lihk to my before and after pic after I had lost 125lbs. I look back now and its hard to believe that is me in that fat suit, carrying around all that weight. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/before+and+after.php?Member_ID=S109166942 1 So I owe my life to WLS surgery and if I hadnt had surgery I wouldnt know all of you fabulous and fun people, especially the one who stole my heart. It's been a wild ride, but worth it!!!! Kelly S

Kelly, I have been thinking about you recently, and was wondering if you had had your additional surgery....so glad to hear that you are getting better now...so surprised to see you and Marty together...and hope that everything is going wonderful in that aspect of your life..... The link did not work for me... Hugs, Norma

Thanks Norma. I still need one more surgery later in the year for my hip, but the colon surgery took priority! Maybe next year I can think about plastics... Here is the link again I think one digit was missing? http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/before+and+after.php?Member_ID=S109166942 1 Everything is going great. Kelly S
