First of all, I am happier than ever, that is the most important takeaway.

Other than my husband, no one knows I had surgery. I am so glad that I didn't tell people.

I feel amazing! I have energy and confidence again. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years. Weight loss combined with proper medication has really helped.

For the first time in my life, it is starting to get fun to shop for clothes and clothes are comfortable. Nothing hangs out or over anymore.

For anyone considering surgery or who has just had surgery and wondering if it was worth it, I promise you, it is the best decision you will ever make.

The first few months are challenging but you are forced to completely change a lifetime of habits overnight. You will learn and every day gets easier, especially once you start to see the weight come off.

For all of those on this journey, I wish you all the best and I hope this helps if you are struggling. Keep up the hard work!

Great work!! Well done @BlueGirl1920 xx

PRAISE THE LORD...great job!
