Hello! :)

My name is Justyna. I live in San Diego, CA and work as a full-time Personal Assistant. I'm 35 years old...single with no kids.

Almost 2 years ago, I was at my heaviest weight...263 pounds. I had Gastric Bypass Surgery through Kaiser...and now am at 180 lbs. My goal weight is to be at 140 pounds because I am only 5'2. I hope to make some online buddies so that we can support one another.

    Awww thank you. I am. There is some stigma for those of us who used the surgery as a tool to aid us along the way AND jump start our weight loss journey, but that's okay. At the end of the day, it's only a tool and it's how you use it that matters.

    I had gastric bypass 12/23/14 and i'm getting ready to have all the skin removed on 02/27 (tummy tuck). Feel free to add me, although this is my first visit so not sure how active I'll be on here yet. :) And you're right, there's definitely a stigma to WLS...

    Hi I had WLS in April 2014 and lost 100lbs. The journey is hard and even harder to maintain the weight. Struggling to lose the remaining 25lbs. Add me if you want. Cheers
