7th years ago I had my RNY. It was my second best decision ever (second only to deciding to be a mom). Still thankful every day. Life s good.

The picture on the left was taken 13 years ago. The one on the right was today. My goal jeans still fit

You're one of my inspirations Laura. You've done an amazing job, and should be incredibly proud of yourself. You must be in the top .01 percent of WLS success stories.

For anyone here that thinks I'm a meaniepants, blame Laura. She's the reason I'm in this god forsaken corner of the internet, after inviting my over from the MyFitnessPal forums.

Thanks for sticking around Laura.

You were a 3 month veteran when I had surgery. I've been following you and thinking you were cool ever since. I applaud your great success and your willingness to continue to share your experience with others.

You rock.

Its so good to hear of someone who as stay at goal weigh for so long...  My biggest fear is losing then putting it all back on.
