ONEDERLAND BABY!!!
OMG!!! I could not believe my eyes when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a "1" where there has been a "2" for over 30 years!!!! I screamed out loud LOL! When I was considering having this surgery I could not imagine losing this much weight and worried I would be the one person the surgery didn't work for. Well, boy was I wrong...and am I glad. I am approaching 4 months and as of today I have lost 53 pounds!
Things could not be better....shopping is SOOO much fun now and my husband likes the weight loss too. He gives me a lot more hugs now! So glad I had the surgery..if you are considering whether to have the surgery or not...DO IT!!! It will be the best decision of your life. My co-workers tell me how happier I am and they are now calling me the incredible shrinking woman. They even called me "TINY". I have never been called that.
I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!

Congratulations. I can imagine how happy the "1" made you. Hopefully, I'll get there, too. I can relate to the thoughts that "I'd be the one person that surgery didn't work for. I shared that fear, as well. But WLS is amazing. It really does work,
So, Good work, "Tiny"!
