Congratulations on 18 years of weight loss success and welcome back to the boards. I always appreciate hearing from longer term post ops because I most always learn something or am reminded of things.
I so very much can relate to your post and share similar struggles. Congratulations on 18 months! That's so great and you should be very proud!
