I can't believe it's been three years. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine how my life would change. It's been a wild, wild ride and I wouldn't have missed it for the world! I still don't really see me as others do, and I'm not sure I ever will. I'm still a work in progress. Good luck to all of you starting on YOUR journey, it's fun. Get a disposable camera and have someone take a picture of you the day before or the day of surgery....then have them take a picture of you every month on your surgery 'date'. After your 'one year' surgiversary, go get the camera developed. Having the pictures laid out side by side....seeing your transformation like that.....it is amazing! You'll be glad you did it, it's fun! Have a great day!

been three years. - wild, wild ride

Thanks Kathy! Feeling good, and like you, I don't hide from the camera any longer. My new picture was taken two months when we were in Galveston. I'm glad you're feeling/doing good.....life is so different now. We both made a good decision when we decided on this surgery. I don't take it for granted and am still grateful that I was able to do it. My youngest 'grand' was 18 months, he'll doesn't even remember the 'other me'.

Happy 3rd surgiversary!!!!
