I love seeing posts like this, but I also always caution people that this is a lifelong change and regain can happen at any time. Start now by adapting healthier habits, exercise, low carb lifestyle, and mental health breaks. We all need that mental day to just decompress and stress can lead to regain. Hell, LIFE can lead to regain. I am so happy that you are feeling alive. This is the best decision I ever made 21 yrs ago and even with the regain I had, I would do this again in a heartbeat.
I can't wait to see some photos if you feel comfortable in sharing them. If not, no worries. But, you are an inspiration to many who are still on that path to finding more out about weight loss surgery. ![]()

As Christmas approaches, our staff will be spending time with their families and we hope that each and every one of you will be spending time with yours. The past 21 months have kept us apart from many of our friends and family and I am sure all we want is to be together with them if possible.
We will put the December to Remember Giveaway on hold until Monday and resume with our giveaways at that time. We will still announce the winner for today's giveaway tomorrow morning.
We wish you all a very safe and Happy Holiday.
