18 mths postop today! minus 160 lbs..so far...

SOOOOOO Amazing! I love your photos - you give me hope!! Thanks for sharing them.:)

I can't get over how much younger you look!

Gee Dawnie, you have done great. Thanks for sharing before and after photos, such an inspiration. The first thing my SIL told me when I told her I was having surgery was that losing a lot of weight makes people look older. I'll prove her wrong when I show her your photos. Continued success to you.

 You are truly an inspiration. I am going in again to have a consult with the bariatric nurse. For the previous 4 years my work insurance did not cover any bariatric surgery. Now that my job fired me I have Medical Assistance through the County in MN and it is a covered service and I am praying that now is my time. I have gained 30 pounds since I went in last Nov. Please let me know how everyone is doing and keep me posted... I am at my highest weight of my life at 430 at 30 years old. It is time for a change.
