Today is my 3rd year anniversary of the date of my surgery. So much has happened over the past 3 years. My life has completely changed. Not only did I lose 112 lbs, but I had two pregnancies and a healthy baby girl who will be one year old on Sept. 12th. I'm still working on getting the last of my weight off but the baby was well worth it. I find now that I'm 3 years out that I really have to work to lose weight, I can eat however I want and not gain weight but to lose takes effort. I'm going to the gym again doing water aerobics and I'm watching my diet. I do find that I can eat much more food now and that doesn't help me when I'm trying to diet. However, I would never have been able to get to this point without my surgery. I'm currently 178 lbs and in a size 14/16. I would like to get into the 150's again and wear a size 12 comfortably, preferably before my baby's 1st birthday! I think I'll make it. I'm so grateful for this website for allowing me the opportunity to learn about how I could get my surgery with Blue Shield HMO. I've had a truly blessed life this past 3 years! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Best Wishes SJ.
