megpie 20 Posted June 15, 2014 I can't believe it's been 6 months since my surgery. SIX MONTHS!!! It's almost been 1 year since my gastric bypass information meeting. I can't believe how fast time flys. I am currently down 90 pounds since surgery, and 130 since I started losing weight. Some people ask me..."Would you do it again?" YES!!!! It was a very hard and challenging chapter in my life but the positives outweigh the negatives. I remember the first day I crossed my legs without feeling uncomfortable. I felt like a lady. I can fit in my bathtub and take a nice warm bubble bath!! I can run instead of walk my dog. My shoes just slide on!!! I am no longer considered plus size. I went from a size 20 to size 7. I'm not quite done yet! Before and after! 11 tynoodles11, Luvin_Life125, VSGAnn2014 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

megpie 20 Posted June 17, 2014 To anyone who is still pretty young, I would say do it as soon as you can. I am usually the one who pushes things off until last minute and I'm so glad I didn't wait to go forward with this. Every day counts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
