Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my story. This past Tuesday marked my one year anniversary. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I have been off all diabetes medications since the day of my surgery. 2 needles and 2 doses of metformin daily. DONE. I am down to a size 8, and a medium shirt. I've never felt better. I eat what I want, but obviously in much smaller quantities. Good luck to anyone that is taking this journey. It's been a hell of a ride!!

That's awesome. Your pictures are great. I hope you feel better too. What does your family think? I had my surgery 1 year ago as of August 21st. I've lost approx 80 lbs. It is so nice to buy clothes in a regular store. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks Everyone!! To answer the question how much weight have I lost? I would say it's almost 90 pounds from my heaviest. That being said, I had lost about 35 pounds prior to surgery due to my diabetes diagnosis. So, since the surgery, it's been about 55 pounds. Doesn't seem like a lot, but considering I was in a size 20/22 pants and a 3X shirt, I'll take it!!

I love being able to shop anywhere! And yes, my family has been 100% supportive. My husband can't keep his hands to himself - so annoying sometimes!! :)

All in all, as I said, it was the best decision I've ever made. Although I haven't made my personal goal, I can't believe how I look and feel. Good luck to all of you!
