SV - another milestone
Hi all,
I was so pleased this weekend to find my weight finally broke the 250 pound mark. Happy Dance!
I started this process last January at 385 pounds. I weighed 333 on surgery day, and I am now down a total of 137 pounds. This is 5 months out from surgery and 9 months from the start of the process.
There was a time about a year ago when I thought I would never weigh less than 350 pounds again. And here i am a year later, breaking 250! Weight loss surgery is really amazing.
I encourage anyone considering WLS to go for it. You don't need to wait until you are in your 60's and very obese to care for yourself, like I did. You deserve to be healthy and have energy. Obesity is a disease and WLS can make a difference.
best wishes,
Carol

Carol, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I was wanting to tell you for the longest time I kept wondering "when is she going to post her smaller pictures" and you did, and they are REMARKABLE!!!! You are so right to tell others to do this sooner, I sure wish I had, I'm 50 now and so wish I could of done this at 30.
Well, you are an awesome example of what the sleeve can do. Take care and enjoy every minute of it!!!!
