One year ago next week, my life changed

I had Lap Band surgery 1 yr ago next week. I have lost 85 pounds. I'm at goal ( though i'd like to lose 5 more as a cushion) but I have to say, it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. I am off if narcotic pain medication. I'm active. I can take Zumba classes. I'm feeling great! Was it hard? Oh yeah. But so worth it. I'm 52 and my only regret is that i didnt do this 10 yrs ago!!
