- I am a 25 year old mother of two beautiful children. I am now coming up on almost one year post op. I have to say it hasn't been an easy journey but it is a path I would choose all over again if given the opportunity. I am so happy where I am versus where I was almost a year ago. Still not at my goal weight but I know if I stick with it I will get there!

I can't believe it has been almost a year since my incredible journey began. I never would have imagined I would make this much progress in such a short period of time. One year ago today I was sitting at home dreaming about what it would be like, what it would feel like to be happy and to feel pretty and more importantly, healthy. I am so proud of myself from where I started and all the dedication and hard work I have put into making this dream a reality. I am down 108lbs... ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT

They gave me something to relax before I entered the OR, and it made me dizzy and weepy, most all anestetics make me weepy.
