1 year surgiversary!

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!!

You look great! Congratulations on your success! This really helps those of us who are preop. My surgery is scheduled for October 15. So excited!

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!
