One Year Sleeversary

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

On this day in 2010, I was revised from Lap Band to Sleeve by Dr. Aceves.

Life's good. I'm happy.

More comments to come later, but for starters, here's some photos detailing the last year of my journey (First 50 Lbs. was pre-op):

Thank you all so very very much, and just as you say I'm motivational - I really don't think I could've done this without all of you!!! You constantly remind me where I've been and how far I've come when those days come around and I'm not feeling so inspired. It's a really really tough journey - but like I always say... SOOO WORTH EVERY POUND AND INCH LOST!!!

@Coops - OMG lady are you kidding me?? You have got to be the MOST inspirational person here!! I won't have it any other way, and I'm seriously gonna throw a ticker tape parade for ya when you feel comfy enough to say you're done. *hugs*

You look absolutely beautiful girly. You're beyond inspirational you need to do a commercial. I"m near your starting weight and to accomplish so much in a year is so awesome. I'm so proud of you and I hope I will do as well as you've done in this length of time. One good thing about is you're always ready to give advice and cheer others on as they struggle through their own journey. I love a person who's beautiful on the inside and outside. GO GIRL!!!!!
