I'M OFFICIALLY AT MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION WEIGHT!!! Met my personal goal!

Hard to fathom almost a year ago, 3/13, I was in the hospital with BP 250/150+ on a bipap machine and as unhealthy as ever. And here I am today, on no major medications and 140 pounds healthier!

The decision to have surgery changed my life for the better. No regrets...living instead of existing. It doesn't get any better than that!

@336Mike my graduating class is meeting this August, I hate to admit it has been 55 years. If you're doing math to figure how this could could be, I graduated at 17 although most of my classmates were 18. I had hoped for a phenomenal weight loss before then. As slow as my road has been-- I will be grateful for what I can achieve. It be counting coup if someone would say Oh my God _____ is that really YOU? But yippy Skippy for what happens. At any rate, YOU are looking fine! PS Go,read my newest thread 48 hours to a Day of Hope, it's one of my most heartfelt postings.
