I hope the moderators do not mind me posting this because it is a link to a blog on another forum about weight loss surgery--but I don't care if I get in trouble for it. The sheer hope and amazing story that I am going to show you is worth the risk. I am soooo inspired by this lady you have no idea. She makes me so hopeful. There are so few long term VSG post ops out there that seeing this just makes me realize that regain does NOT have to happen--we don't have to gain back half of our weight---or all of it. Or any of it! We can be successful!

You will NOT regret reading this!

Enjoy!

Very inspiring story. Thank you!

I am so thankful that you shared this story! I have been looking for something from someone is over 5 years post surgery. I love hearing from others that are 2 years out. Gives me a lot of hope.

Very good! That was in 2011, has she updated anywhere that anyone can find? I could not locate anything recent.

Great website! I love before and after photos! So inspirational!

Great story, I wonder why nobody has replied to it. Also kinda interesting that it is 1 year old today.

I know...I am hoping she updates again soon. She has posted now and then on the Obesity Help main forum a few times. I wish I could find some of her posts from the past. I have seen her post before.

Her VSG 8th surgiversary is on 11.2.12! I hope she remembers to update! :-)

I think she is out living her life. I would be too if I was her!

Thank you for sharing this, I wonder if she had skin removed? Amazing person
