8 Year Anniversary

It's been 8 years already.  Seems like yesterday, I can still remember so much of preparing and going through all the process of having surgery, losing weight and finally feeling healthy and having so much energy.  Lots has happened in these 8 years, many happy moments, some sad and some necessary.  WLS gave me confidence to make changes in my life for the better.  I've never regretted one moment of making the decision to have WLS.....it's truly been an amazing journey. 

To all of you beginning the process I'll say go for it.  There will be struggles along the way but focus on YOU and I promise you'll get by those moments and be a better person on the other end. 

Here are pictures to let you see it works and you can maintain with diligent work and determination.

Congrats! DID you reach a point where you gained any weight back and lost it again? I am struggling with this. Any advice?
