On 3/6/2012 I had VSG surgery and yes, it was the best decision I ever made. My life has changed soo much and all for the good.

I exercise every day

I can bend over and tie my shoes

I can cross my legs

I no longer need seat belt extender on airplanes

I can wear heels

I wore a dress for the first time in 8 years 2 weeks ago

I went hiking with my grand kids yesterday and we had to stop for rests because THEY were tired, not me!

I have soo much energy

I feel good about myself again

I went from a size 24-26 to a 12

I fit in a booth at restaurants

I can mow my own grass(dont have to hire someone to do it this year)

I could go on forever about the benefits of this surgery, instead let me just show you

Yay you! I hope to be the same way soon! I already think it was the best decision of my life!!

You look gorgeous!!!! Great job! I get my sleeve at 9:15 in the morning--if I only have half as much success as you I will be thrilled!!!!!

What a remarkable transformation in your pics! I hope to be right with you in a year:)

That's amazing! Thanks for sharing!

You look so amazing!!! I am only 3 months out but I love my sleeve as well. 67 pounds down in 3 month I would have never been able to do this without my sleeve. Yay you and everyone else on this journey.

You look (and must feel) great! Thanks for the encouragement

You look just awesome! Congratulations and thanks for sharing some inspiration:)

So inspiring!!!!!! The things that so many take for granted but not us!!!!!!

Wow! You look great!!! Hard to believe it's the same person in those pictures! Look at how cute you look in that beautiful black suit too??!!!

Congratulations to you!

Congratulations. I feel the exact same way, never realized I could feel like this and how much I was missing out on due to my size and trying to avoid doing things.

Wow, you must be so proud of yourself! You look amazing

Congratulations!!!! You look fabulous
