In a nutshell, I had my surgery on 4/21/09. I had climbed to near 300 lbs before deciding that I needed to do something drastic to change my life. Since then, I am down to 150 lbs and my BMI is now within the normal range. All of my health issues (Blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc.), are gone and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to lose my excess weight.
It has not been easy and now being at my goal weight, I still take it 'day by day' to ensure that I do not gain any of the weight back.
It's been one heck of a journey and I am so blessed to have met wonderful folks from the WLS community along the way.
