I wasn't about to open myself up to any negativity or misguided information from people who had no idea what the surgery was all about.
I'm a bit more open about it now - but I choose who I tell.
There are some people that I will never tell - even if they ask me directly - and I didn't tell anyone at work.
It's your business and yours

Greetings! It has been a very long time since I have been on this site. My surgery was December 2014 and although I never lost as much weight as most of the people here; my journey thus far (it is never over) has been a success. I started at a weight of 272 and got as low as 190 (for 3 days). I have since gained 30 lbs and am at 220, still striving everyday to get below 200, but its hard. My overall size hasn’t changed much, just a little fluffier!
Here’s the thing, life is REAL and the fact ...
