I agree with everyone else - you look amazing! Thanks so much for your post. I am so happy with my sleeve, but am only 8 weeks post surgery, so I'm still on that pink cloud. Knowing that there is long term success, if one continues to work at it, gives me lots of hope for the future. I too agree that inner changes must occur if the outer changes are to continue. I am working on the whole me, not just on how I look.

Thank you for stopping in! We are always interested in hearing from those really far out. I think you might be the furthest out from VSG I've seen on this board yet!

Congrats on your success and thanks for sharing your story. Truly inspirational.
