WORK YOUR TOOL!!! I can't even begin to explain just how much my lifestyle has changed!! I'm a runner now!! Im starting training for a half marathon soon!

Just always remember your bypass is a tool and it's there to guide you. Make better choices. And respect the pouch

You are a definite inspiration! Thank u very much for sharing.

Your pictures are awesome!! You are awesome!! Thanks for your story!!

Wow! I absolutely love "respect the pouch" that may be my phrase to remember when I have my surgery! Thank you for sharing your journey. It makes you realize how much control you can have with your "tool" as you call it. I really needed that. Thank you!
