Happy surgiversary! You're living proof that its never too late to have wls & take your life back. You look great! I'm so glad that you've stuck around to help other people & not become a fly by poster, you know the kind that only shows up on their anniversary then fades away only to come back a year later.
You're very inspirational to those of us on these boards. Cheers to you!
