Soon To be 6 Years!
Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time since I've been on the board. My 6th year anniversary is coming up and I wanted to check in...
I would like to hear from the Vets out there....How's it going?

Highest Weight = 206 lbs.
Surgery Weight = 185.6 lbs.
Current Weight = 111.2 lbs.
Goal Weight = 130 lbs. (5'1")
All is well with me. My surgery was 9/17/2008. I have kept off all 200 pounds which is unbelievable when I think about it. I finally think of myself as average size. The first few years I did still see the fat me. Now I see myself as normal. The mental part has been the toughest but it has gotten a lot easier for me. Still thankful everyday for my second chance at life. I am determined NOT to screw it up.

Hi Laura!
My surgery date was 9/2/2008 and it's been a journey Very rewarding. Today, I'm still practicing what my doctor taught - I've gained weight a couple of times but been pretty steady for the last couple of years. Currently, under 16 pounds under goal. Very very thankful!
My life has changed drastically - do you still attend support meetings? I'm in Florida and they are few and far between.
