Howdy ...

I had my gastric bypass October of 2010. My pre-op weight was 250 lbs and I had several severe health issues which pushed me in the direction of getting my surgery. It truly was the best health or heck life decision I have ever made. ,)

Trust me, it hasn't been easy and I have had a few complications a long the way but nothing compare to my health issues prior to surgery. Most of it has been my own doing, not following docs guidelines UGH

But I am 17 months out and I have dropped a whopping 140 lbs. I have gone from a size 22w to a size 2, a size 1 on a good day ,) I have reversed most of my prior health issues and have made dealing with the more serious ones A LOT easier. I went from 30 different pills a day to 5. That's a huge differences !!! I feel like a 37 year old now not an 80 year old lmbo

I am definitely loving life now !!!
