14 years post-op

[Nifty 29]

September 11, 2002 I had gastric bypass. It was the best decision I ever made. I weighed 300 pounds and wore 26/28 size pants and 3x shirts. It took me a little over a year to lose 165 pounds. I've have been successful keeping it off but it is a daily struggle. I continue to watch my weight and exercise. I've only had excess skin removed from my thighs. No other skin surgeries.

Thank you. I just want to let people know we can do it. We can be successful if we take it one day at a time and never give up.
