1 year...... pics...before and now
I am on my way to work, and wont be home till nite, but wanted to share my 1 year update. I have lost 131 pounds, am off insulin, blood pressure now low, feel better mentally and physically. I can walk, dance, cross my legs, feel like I fit in, and finally be at peace with myself. I am so grateful to have my surgery. I could not figure out how to post before and afters but they are in my profile, my son put them there. I wont be able to comment till I get home from work :) I hope if you are considering any surgery, do your research, ask questions, talk to your dr. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around this weight loss, and still have a fat head. Good luck to anyone starting out on this incredible journey, and as they say, WHAT A RIDE!!! Thank you for reading. maria

Congratulations Maria!
Your story sounds a lot like mine...I no longer have to use insulin, blood pressure fine etc...It is awesome! I also relate to, "feel like I fit in". That's one of my favorite things! I love to just blend in now or feel secure when I walk into new situations!
Way to go! I looked at your pictures and you are doing great! You have beautiful kids! Hope you had a good day at work and come home to find all of us cheering you on. Connie
