1 year post-op (with pics)

[Webchickadee 716]

The past year has FLOWN by very quickly, and here I am, ready to post some surgiversary pics and stats. It seems amazing how quickly the time (and pounds) have flown by.

I won't say it hasn't had some moments of difficulty, frustration and struggle. They have been FAR outweighed (HA!) by fun, excitement, joy, a sense of accomplishment and the knowledge that THIS is my new, healthy life.

Getting the VSG was the best decision of my life. I would do it again 1000x.

I've attached some pictures of me pre-op (with my surgeon, Dr. Ramos Kelly!) and a few days post-op (in Mexico).

And some more pictures of me now (loving life, sports and still a work in progress).

And finally, a shot of my measurement changes to date (-86.25 inches!) in a year.

Just another 47 lbs to goal.........

And........I'm completely off my asthma meds (used to be 3 puffers and 2 oral meds), even when I'm exercising HARD. A miracle.....since I've been using asthma meds continuously since age 12 (now 43). I can't tell you what a difference it is to be able to breath, all the time!

Wow! Incredible job! You are inspiring.

How is cycling with extra skin? It's easier for me than it was 6 months ago, but my skin is giving me problems. Do you wear compression shorts?
