So I am 5 months post-op and am down 75 lbs.

My 12 year old daughter had a dance performance over the weekend. I was sitting in the balcony at the theater and remained after the show. The performers gathered on stage and were getting feedback from the director. My daughter was looking around so I stood up and waved to her. She looked confused and pointed to herself and was like "me???" Um...yes you silly... she slightly waved and looked somewhat embarrased. She told me afterwards that she DIDN'T RECOGNIZE IT WAS HER OWN MOTHER! At a distance, she visually saw a much skinnier person and thought it was some random person. Ha!! THAT, my friends was so AWESOME!!!

It's the little things.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
