A Year Out
by ggibson1038 on 04-05-2014 at 12:06 PM
Well here it is. This Tuesday and it will be 1 year since I have had my surgery. I can tell you that my life has changed immeasurably.

Today is a mile marker day. I reached a total of a little over 100 ounds lost since I started my journey. This has been nothing short of miraculous and my only regret so far is that I didn't so this sooner.
I feel absolutley incredible, I love to exercise and challenge myself constantly and am getting positive comments left and right. This journey has been truly amazing.

I felt like I needed to write this as a post for all those who are considering weight loss surgery. You hear many of the post op folks say on here that this is a tool, you have to lose the weight and do all the work. I wanted to comment on what my experience has been and what I have observed in others and tell you what that statement actually means from my perspective.
First, IF YOU APPROACH THE SURGERY AS A CURE, YOU WILL FAIL. I have already seen it in friends and others who
