How can one measure happiness or measure ongoing happiness?

Making good choices in life.

Major step taken 3 years ago yesterday by self paying for VSG surgery as an outpatient in US (after being denied by insurance) and had over 80% of my stomach removed. Sleeve gave me a great tool to battle my obesity. So at three years out, I can assure you I made a good or dare I state fabulous choice. Today weighed in at 6 pounds below surgeons goal still well in range of healthy BMI. Yes, I am healthy & take my suppliments & follow up with surgeon annually while still attending a bi-monthly support group here in SoCal

While I can babble on about the benefits of my choice, let me assure you

I have no regrets & LOVE MY SLEEVE

Thank you to each of my fellow vetrans who encourage, support and have imparted valuable information. You have made me a victor.

Congratulations

Love it - you have done so great - thanks for checking in! Everybody always loves to hear from people who are a few years out

Congrats and Happy Sleeviversary!

i am seeing "less and less" of you

in body, but on the board too

i agree that its wonderful "seeing" successful people like you show their faces

"probably/maybe - you've had a "few" problems periiodically with eating/grazing after 3 years - but you continue to be great

maintenance can be - or maybe not for you - alittle trying

so happy for your success and happiness

happy 3+ years surgiversary

i see many many, many more successful great years in your future

don't be a stranger

Yay! Congrats ilegal! I agree with Grammy...we miss "seeing" you around, but I totally understand! Thanks for popping in and congrats on your 3 year anniversary of the new you.

I'm so ecstatic about the amount of LONG TERM SLEEVERS who are stepping up on VSG! LOTS of three years and above vets now!

Imparting to others what we have gleaned through the process, as FYE says, the good the bad and the ugly, is so important to ALL of our continued success.

Congratulations to you! You should be extremely proud!!!

Thanks for the post.

Awesome! Congrats!!!

Congrats on you anniversary and welcome back. I love to hear from the vets who are a few years out. It keeps me encouraged and gives me some to aspire to in the coming years.

I am always so happy to see vets check in . If it weren't for those of us who are happy sleevers eating whatever we want in small portions, those newbies would not get to know how great life can be!

Congratuations on 3 years, but also on doing a great job in mainenance!
