2-Yr Surgiversary
Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 years since my VSG. My life is so different today and seems to get better and better every day and in every way. The biggest change for me the last year has been sobriety. My weight goes up and down depending on what I eat.....Duh!! I haven't weighed in awhile but can tell I gained some by the way some of my clothes fit. I actually told someone I like the extra weight cuz my body isn't so flabby and I do. I'm getting used to my body still. My head still likes to play "fat games" with me. Gotta watch that "head", cuz it'll mess me up. I try and stay positive. I'm working my spiritual connection with a power greater than me. I don't go on this board like I used to and I think of many of you often. I occasionally hit a support group and am thinking about going back to OA to check things out. Not sure how they feel about WLS, see that's my head again. I thank God for VSG and my new life. It's not easy and you don't realize that until after surgery. My surgery was on 8/3/2009, by Dr. Kim at Kaiser West LA. I'm grateful, so so grateful. My top weight was 305. Today......I'm not sure what I weigh. I love this picture of my fiancé and I taken this year.
Love you guys

Hi darlin! Happy surgiversary, and it is great to see you again!
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Hi Vicky! So happy to see you back and life is good for you! Keep in touch. We love you and your spirit!
Oh, and about OA. At this point, just go and not tell them about your WLS. It's all about your head now, so no need to explain anything else. If you think it will help YOU, then do it!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.
