It will be one year ago on May the 3oth that I went for my first consulat. I was 273 pounds and very depressed  and so unhappy. My youngerst sister was getting married in 2 weeks and I couldn't find anything to wear, so I bought a tent and put glitter on it. LOL!!! Anyway I remember sitting threw everything that day then meeting with the surgeon, and walking away saying... By any means! I never followed threw with anything--- aside from going back for 2nd's. By Oct the 19th I had surgery. I look at May now and I weigh 159 lbs. VS. 273 lbs. I never, ever, thought I would be here today when looking back at yesterday. 114 lbs, say it isn't sooooo!!!! But it is!!!
