I had surgery on Feb. 27, 2012 I have now lost 65 lbs.I am now in onderland!! It's been a roller coaster ride a lot of the time but I am so glad that I took this journey. I feel so much better about myself, my self esteem is higher and I can look in the mirror without feeling discussed. I am really hoping that my daughter can see my success and do this for herself.

I know that there are skeptics out there that think this is not a good thing to but they have not lived in my shoes to see the looks on peoples faces, to hear the silent remarks, to sit in a chair gentlely and hope it holds you. I knew that it was time for me to take control of my destiny......And I did, now I can look in a mirror, sit in any chair, and I feel great. There are no more stares and I feel like I am normal. My husband has been so supportive and he is my soul mate for life. I am so excited about my new look and my new life. I can't remember the last time that I felt this way. My daughter is 25 and my son is 24 and I don't think they even remember me being this size ever in their life. I wish I could have done this 20 years ago.

So good Luck to everyone and remember on this forum we have your back!!!!!
