3 Truly Amazing Years!

Wow!  July 23, 2011, was the 3 year anniversary since my DS!  What can I say other than it's been truly amazing.  I love what my DS has given me.  I wanted to write something witty and encouraging, but I just can't think of anything other than this is the best thing I've ever done for myself.  I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been.  Life is great!  I've spent my summer hiking, biking and having adventures! I've lost 140 lbs and have maintained it for over 2 years.  I love my DS! Here are pictures of me on my surgery day, 7-23-08 and on my 3 year anniversary 7-23-11. I'm not perfect, I know I will never be, but I'm me.

Can't see the pics btw...the green font is very hard to read. Congrats on you success!

Hmmm.... I don't know why the pictures aren't working or why it's green!  Weird.  Sorry.  The pictures are in my profile if you want to look.   I mainly just wanted to encourage new people, because I loved looking at the "Before & Afters" when I was a pre-op and fresh post-op.  Best wishes to everyone.

You look great! And as a pre-op I do love the pictures! Keeps me motivated to keep jumping through these insurance hoops.

Thank you very much. 
Playing the insurance game can be rough, but hang in there, it is so worth the fight!  I wish you nothing but sucess!

Thank you so very much.  I still hate having my picture taken, so this was a battle I lost - posing in front of the Luxor in Vegas! 

WOW, Youve done awesome! Checked out the pics, WOW!! Really rockin it girl!! WTG
