VSG Bariatrics 1 Year w/Pictures

1 Year ago today I under went a surgery that would change my life. I'm always looking for new friends and inspirational buddies to keep me on track. If you would like to please send me a friend request.

I look forward to losing another 70lbs before may of 2013.

    Thank you mzub and aquaqueen.

    Its strange to see other topics of people losing less, I figured my accomplishment warranted more of a response. Maybe 220 pounds isn't enough to get peoples attention on this site.

    I did inspire someone else though for a friend request, so there is hope.

  • OMG! I don't know you, but I swear you look like you went from age 45 to age 17! Ok, that's an exaggeration, but man it's crazy how much younger you look without all that weight! Congrats :)

    Nah, that isn't it at all. It's a Sunday morning and not a good time to post a success story. Activity here is quite time sensitive I've noticed.

    And 220 lbs is a whomping accomplishment! You deserve a pat on the back for getting your weight under control. Congratulations up the wazoo for all you've done.

    Edited to say: Sorry, I see you first posted this earlier in the week. Well, I don't know what happened but find that sometimes when lots of things get posted at once, some just slip to the bottom of the list. Not many people search second and third pages. I'm glad you "bumped" it back to the top.

    Congrats on your loss and on your objectives.
    I'd guess people have some reserves about surgery, I know I do. If you'd posted a different title you'd get a different response.
    The surgery does not define you, it's what you do with yourself that is your success story! Thumbs up!
