Thank you so much for this very inspirational post. I weigh 260 pounds and I'm in pain every moment of the day. The surgery is my last hope. I'm so thrilled that you had a positive outcome, it inspires me so much. Congratulations!

I hope that your experience is as complication free and successful as mine has been thus far. Thanks for the kind words.

You look great of course! But even better, your quality of life is a complete turnaround. And I know why they call it hot yoga, because you look HOT in that photo!

Bunny, Thanks for your story! I am anticipating vsg this spring, I'm in that long pre-op stage. I too have a lot of medical issues. I was told I needed to lose weight before I could have a kidney transplant. After reading your story I feel more hopeful than ever! There are so many things I would like to do and can't right but now I am looking forward to more energy and less pain. I have been questioning myself if I should do it or not, and I know I really need to do it. Thanks again for sharing your story it gives me a lot of hope!

Look at those skinny legs!! Congratulations on your 1 year Surgiversary and thank you for sharing your story. The health benefits of this is the really important issue. Good luck and great job!

Congratulations Bunny! You look fantastic, and are full of energy! Finding an exercise your passionate about sounds like it's been good to you! I love that your DH was taking all those photos in your yoga moves, you were in Hawaii after all! Congrats on the 100 pounds lost!

LOL I giggled at 'skinny legs'. Never in my life did I think someone would tell me I had skinny legs. The health benefits are the most important thing like you said but the other positive things sure are a great added bonus like the self confidence, the strength, the new clothes, etc. I do love my new clothes (and so does my hubby).

I would never let the hubby take photos before surgery but I gave him permission to take pics at will. We went hiking down and up the Waipio Valley, did an 8 mile round trip hike to the green sand beach, snorkeled, did yoga on a cliff etc. When we got to the top of the Waipio Valley I cried because a year previous I wouldve never attempted it much less completed it.

Full of energy is right. I wake up early now (cannot sleep past 8am) whereas I would sleep until 12 or 1 previously. Ive wasted so much time. The hubby and I are making up for lost time now and want to do anything and everything we can. Im even going to get him to come to yoga lol.

Thank you for sharing your story Bunny. My surgery is tomorrow morning and I'm pretty freaked out about it. Your story helped remind me why I'm doing this and how good the outcome can be. Still pretty scared ...
