I had surgery on Sept 14th' date=' 2012. I did it for many reasons, but the main was that in June my mother passed away. She was 55, 2 days short of her 56th birthday. She was extremely overweight and if she hadn't been then more than likely I would still have my mother today. My whole family battles weight. I have been overweight from the day I was born! I decided that I did not want to lose my life over something like my weight. I made the decision to have the surgery. I have a very smooth surgery. I had surgery at 11 am on a Friday and was discharged by noon on Saturday the very next day. My recovery was easy, no complications other than pain and some ankle swelling that I was given Water pills for. I took 4 weeks off work, although I could have gone back sooner I took the time to heal and really get acquainted with my new lifestyle. I have an amazing support system of my friends, my family, and my wonderful husband. Although my husband can not relate ( he is 157 pounds and very fit) he has never once made me feel like I could not do this. He loves me for me whatever I look like and knew that this was something that I needed to do not only for me, but for our future family. At the time of surgery we were getting ready to Celebrate our one year wedding anniversary, so timing wasn't the best, but then again when is ever going to be the best time to take control over your life other than now??

So 3 /12 months later I could not be happier with my results. I have lost 80.4 pounds since the day of surgery. While I still have another 130 some to go, I know that this surgery not only changed my life but saved it. For the first time in my life I love myself and who I am becoming. If that isn't a great result from this surgery, then I don't know what would be I attached some pics from the day of and then taken yesterday. I can not believe how far I have come in so little time, and this is just the beginning!!
