almost 1yr post op .. 188 lbs lighter ..

WOW !!

It has been a long time since I was here and soo much has happen in my ever changing life. It has been almost 1yr since I was banded and I have lost a whole person. I am not only 100 lbs away from my goal weight of 135 lbs and I am more excited now then I was when this journey began for me, I am starting to see a new person.. A thin person, a beautiful person ... someone that I knew existed somewhere beneath all the FAT !! I have since returned to the corp. world and I have started a new life .. I have eliminated the old me and started fresh in more ways then one. This journey has not been easy , and I still struggle with addiction but I am stronger now then I think I have ever been and it is a great feeling... Having the lapband surgery has given me a second chance at a great life .. What was only a dream has turned into reality and I love living everyday ... Good luck to all you newbies and to the ones who are just beginning there journey .. I wish you all the best !!

Until we meet here again !

Take Care and God Bless !
