My journey to a healthy life started when I made the decision to have surgery. It took about 3 yrs to actually get approved but finally it happened and on 11/10/2004 had my life changing surgery!!! I have been very fortunate not to have any complications and I am able to eat every type of food without becoming ill. My weight came off very fast and I have kept my weight down all these years by being very proactive with the types of food that I eat, exercise regularly and always have a positive outlook on life. I do not get on the scale anymore because when I used  to way back when I would go crazy if I gained a pound so I decided the # on the scale was not what I should be looking at but how my clothes fit. So I am now a size 4 womans and if I feel my outfits feel snug then I eat less for a couple of days and I have  no issues. I have been a size 4 for almost 9 years now and I am loving the new me. 

I was fortunate to finally have adominal plasty fluer de lis on 7/8/11 and then I had a bilaterial thigh lift on 2/3/12, all my excess skin is gone and now I am waiting to have Breast reduction surgery which has finally been approved, just waiting on the date. I'm so excited.
