So, I am going to use this post to memorialize my Journey. After having my first child at 40 and my second child at 42, the weight crept on and refused to leave. At my highest I was 303, SW 301 (10/18), Surgery W: 279 (1/28/19); CW: 261 (2/22/19).

Awesome!!! What was your weight on the day of surgery??? For me, I needed to lose weight, but my issue was more about the impact of having diabetes, high lipids, triglicerides, high BP etc. I am off all of my T2DM medications and my blood glucose levels have been normal. Losing the weight has been great, but the change in my glucose levels under control has been the most important aspect of this for me.

279. I have high blood pressure and I have a follow up medicine check to determine the steps moving forward.

Wow - that is great regarding resolving your medical issues. Good job!! You have to be here for your family and friends!!
