1 Year Surgerversary
by KiwiGal on 09-04-2018 at 08:22 PM
Hello all
Yesterday I celebrated one year since I changed my life for good. Yep, a year ago I had my gastric sleeve surgery. :-)
I have had a great year. The surgery went without a hitch, I have followed my surgeon and nutritionists instructions to a tee and have kept to the plan. As such I am now almost 60kg lighter then I was before surgery. I have gone from a size 22 (NZ) to a size 10-12. I am more active, fitter, and happier than I can ever remember being.
