Well folks, it's been a year! Exactly one year ago, I was in Tijuana Mexico recovering from surgery. I have had no regrets, have had no problems tolerating foods at all, and this was the best thing I have ever done for myself. BEST decision ever!!! I hit my goal weight last Saturday of 150 pounds. I have not been at this weight since I was 18 years old, over 20 years ago! I can honestly say that the biggest reason that I went through with getting this surgery is because I read all the feed back from everyone on this website. Thank you everyone for contributing to this forum; I don't think we realize how much we are helping others sometimes by just sharing our thoughts and experiences. I love my sleeve so much!!

Re: WOW!!!! MY 1 Year Surgiversary Date!!! AT GOAL!!!
Shar, congratulations to you! I'm right behind you with my 1st anniv. on May 1st. I have 4 more lbs to go to reach my goal. Your words express all of my thoughts exactly. I couldn't have said it better. Now I feel I have a future before me as I'm getting older, a future with promise and greater health and the ability to stay active physically with my body.
Here's to your continued success and maintenance. Keep reaching for the stars!
