Can't believe it has been 2 years!!! with pics!
2 years ago today I took a major step to take control and improve my physical and mental health.
It has been an amazing 2 years. I had a VBG with Dr. Chua in Milwaukee at 245 and was at my personal goal of 132 within 9 months. I've maintained within 3lbs of this weight for 15 months.
I had my plastics 6 months ago and am thrilled with the way I look and the way I feel.
I snagged a glorious man, started an MBA program and gained a new perspective of myself.
Couple of pics to share.
To me, the first one sums it up. 6 months before my surgery I took a trip to Europe. While I did not ask for a seatbelt extender, I really needed one. The belt was digging into me for almost 8 hours. I took this picture last month while on a business trip. How's that for transformation?
And some before and afters:

Wow, you look great! Your look like me right now at your heaviest, I am looking for a 132 weight by 1 year, so I can kind of see what it will look like....I also suffered from flying and needing a seat extender...the one thing that made me look into the surger (I am 5 days post op for RNY) was going to Cedar Point (amusement park) in OH and waited in line for 2 hours to get on a ride, and could not buckle the belt!!! I was soooo mad at myself...
Love that you have a new life and look great! Keep up the great work, you have inspired me!
