On May 18th I will be 1 year post surgery and 98 lbs lighter! WOO HOOO!!! Amazing, I can't believe it. This last year has flown by. I feel great, I look great and am so happy to no longer need a CPAP!!! That was the best thing ever I am glad I had the surgery. No complications, struggle with protein but managed to get through it. I did it. Now they say that after the 1st year it becomes harder to keep yourself on the right track, well not this girl! I am happy with myself and where I am at and where I am going. I look at life a lot different now, since surgery saved my life.

From a size 20-22 to a 5-6 in 11 mos, I never would have thought or even pictured myself here. 240 lbs to 142 lbs AMAZING!

To all of you here that either have had surgery or are contemplating it, YOU CAN SUCCEED!!! You can tackle it all 1 day at a time. Be proud of who you are, who you will continue to be and who you will become. Life is too short to stress and worry, live your life to its fullest and enjoy it!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!!
