3 year surgerversary

3 years ago today I had life changing surgery.

After being obese for most of my adult life I decided at age 54 that enough was enough and it was time to take control of my life once and for all.
A small inheritance meant that I was able to be self pay. Ironically I was too "healthy" for public funded surgery!

Now I am half the weight I was prior to surgery. I have so much energy - which is just as well with 6 active grandkids - I'm healthier and so much happier....and buying clothes is so much fun :)

I am so thankful for this forum. Everyone is so supportive and happy to offer advice and share their own stories. I only knew one other person who had wls prior to joining here so being able to come here has been wonderful. I have learnt so much.

Now that I am well and truly into maintenance I know that the work doesn't end it's an ongoing job - but it is so, so much easier after surgery.

Thank you everyone.

HI Lisa, Glad to hear you are well and still keeping up with your weight loss. You are an inspiration for me. I agree, shopping is allot more fun now. :) x

Outstanding. You did good. You are one of the stars on this forum. Way to go.
