Wow, I can't believe that over 4 years have come and gone since my re-birth. I started this path at what I will now reveal as my starting weight of 390 pounds. I at my last weight in am sitting at 198 pounds and proud. I find it amazing that I no longer consider myself a fat person. Instead I am just a person. I have two beautiful daugthers that I will now get to see grow up. I have met the man I love and have since married him.I do have to admit a truth, I am not sure if any one has this issue, but I find myself getting upset when I read stories of those have had WLS and say it failed them and they have lost no weight and that the doctor messed up. I am not sure but I know when I met with my doctor I was given what was expected of me and what to expect to gain from going thru this. I have used my surgery as a tool not a magic pill. I never once thought that from here on out I can be care free and not worry. Every day is still a an up hill battle not to over eat or do thing that will harm my hard work and progress. I just wished people would stop looking for the genie in the lamp and use this surgery as a tool and a helping hand. Ok I will get off my soap box.
