7 year Surgiversary!
I just want to encourage anyone who may be struggling, or who may be hesitating about even having this life-giving surgery. I had my RNY 7 years ago. I battled transfer addictions to alcohol and sex. I re-gained 45 pounds. And then... I found recovery and health once again. I am now at my lowest weight since the surgery, living a life that is happy, joyous and free. I am grateful every single day for my weight loss surgery, even with the struggles and challenges I've faced. I now have a lot of tools in my toolbox, but WLS is definitely one of the strongest. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Blessings, Jill
WLS 5/31/07. Maintaining a weight loss of 141 pounds and feeling amazing!
