MY ONE YEAR POST OP CELEBRATION :jump: :jump:

Hi everyone, It has been quite a year on June 24, 2003 my life changed drasticly. I was a very unhappy obese person who had used food my whole life long since childhood as my comforter, my friend my everything. When happy or sad I would reward myself with food. I started this journey at my highest weight of 252 and i am 5'2" tall. Size 24/26. Today i am 145 size 8/10 I no longer take any meds for my type 2 diabetes, don't suffer from sleep apenea, high blood pressure or high chlosteral. I am a very happy 55 year old person. With much higher self esteem and knowledge to know I can do whatever I set my mind to. I want to thank my friend Doug who asked me"Aren't you worth the price of a used car? and to my wonderful husband Charlie that has stood beside me for thirty years and never said a negeative word about my size, but when i talked with him and told him what I wanted to do he said GO FOR IT!!!! I have a great surgeon, Dr Alan Wittgrove in San Diego, I feel I owe him my life. He and his staff have been very supportive, with monthly telephone visits and to answer any questions i have had. But mostly I thank my Lord and Saviour Jesue Christ. I feel I am to help and support anyone who has been in my shoes. Thank you all for your support. God bless. Margaret in Las Vegas
