4 yearsToday

Today I am 4 years post op. it's crazy I just had my first major complication so close to this date. Everyone seems to ask me if I regret it now because of the bowell obstruction? NOPE! 
I know it's possible that things could happen to me. That's why when I feel any type of pain, I run to the dr to get it checked out.

I started my journey out at 450 lbs and now I'm 176 lbs and wear a size 10. Some tops are 12 because of the extra skin around my belly. I am confident, I feel like i have control of my eating (most of the time), and I'm just a happier person. 

so, YES, I would do it again! 

Happy 4 years to me! 

Happy anniversary to you...I think it takes something like what you had to remind us to vigilant at all times..I read the symptoms to my husband so he would KNOW what to look for..and I'll never forget!

It's really a small thing, compared to what could have happened in four years at 450 pounds, really...I mean it was dangerous and all but think of all the complications you sidestepped from not being 450 anymore...and besides, in four years 450 might have been 475...You never know.

Congrats

Congrats Kay!!!

You ROCK!!!

I am so happy for you.  You have made it this far and the best is yet to come!!

Thank you also for sharing!  You are always an inspiration!

Please continue to share your experiences.

I am almost 2 years out and I appreciate hearing what you do and how you do it!

Praying for a quick recovery for you!

Sincerely,
Melissa

Congrats Kay,

Your regular daily commitment & dedication to staying the course and making good choices is an inspiration to me...It shows that it is very doable to eat right in the long haul...

4 years is just the beginning of a remaining lifetime, I wish you continued success for the next 4 & 40+ too...

That is wonderful Kay, happy anniversary.  I see your commit to fully utilize your tool on OH on a daily basis & it is such an inspiration.  I hope to be on the same path as you when I am for years out.  I wish you all the best and continued success.

YAY! Congrats!

What were your symptoms???

Kay, Happy 4th Anniversary. I am about 10 days late but wanted to congratulate you. Sorry to hear you had a complication but sounds like you have it  under control and very observant now.

I am coming up on my 5th early Feb. I just looked at the calander while reading you post & actually I had to count the years, they went by so fast!. I have been busy,haven't been reading regularly but I am trying to keep up.
