Life is still GREAT!!!  Coming up on my 7th year out.  Started weight was 311 and as of today I am 178.  Even though I feel like I am gaining I have to remember I am 52 years old and a size 14 is just fine.  I have some issues catching up to me.  I have bowel problem.  Chronic constipation.  I am having arthritis issues but are these from my surgery or just with age.  I will tell you I am very active.  Life is non stop at my house.  My girls are 14 and starting highschool.  They don't remember the FAT mom.  My husband and I are still very happy and I did not substitue my food addiction for something else. 

I was ask by my GI doctor if this were necessary would I reverse my surgery.  I of course said "NO".  He told me that since I have kept the weight off all these years I have changed me life and I would probably not go back to eating like I did in the past.  I hope I never have to prove his idea.

My sisters have also kept their weight off.  Of course we all have struggled with a few pounds of weight.  Mimi is still a size six and Amy is still around a 14.  Sarah has kept all her weight off.  So as a family of 4 women we hope we have changed our future. 

Thanks to Dr. Tom for a wonderful job with our family.  We truely miss him.  I hate that he had to move his practice but he is able to reach out to a whole new population of people.

I am ask over and over again,  would i do it again and the answer is HELL YES!!!!.
