Wow great job!!! Any words of wisdom for going to be newbies like me? Maintaining for 10 years is phenomenal!!!

Its definatly been a long sometimes hard road,I think my doc did an awesome job b/c its been fairly easy for me to stay at that weight.the only thing i made sure was to never stretch my pouch and i was lucky that sugar made me very sick for a long time and still does to some extent

And congrats um sure ur gonna do amazing

Thank you so much for sharing! The one thing I have not been able to find is people who've had the surgery more than five years ago. I had mine one week ago. I hope I do as well as you as I go on. I always wondered about the long-term success and possible health issues. Have you ever had any surgery related health issues over time?

You look fantastic! Such a inspiration!!

Congrates im so happy for you

Ive been doing very good with no side effects beside low iorn n a few blood transfusions. But thats my own fault because i dont take my vitamins .... I also had four kids with no complication. Its funny cause my eyes are still bigger than my belly lol .... And even though i cant eat the whole plate it still makes me feel better .... I look forward to see positive updates about you ...
