So since I have internet finally and its been almost a year I thought I should probably let you all know I am still alive and kickin. I know it's not officially my 1 year anniversary of having the surgery but its close enough that a few days isnt going to make that big of a difference. I have been maintaining 135 pretty well for about the last 2 months although I do fluctuate up about 5 or 6 pounds once in a while but my clothing sizes dont change so I would say all is well there. So for those of you considering VSG weight loss surgery I have included before and after pictures so you can see what a difference it has made for me.  This first pic is me at my highest weight of 248. The second is me in the same dress and shoes at my current weight of 135.

Linda B. I am absolutely loving life right now. I have incredible energy and have learned to listen to my body when it comes to what I eat and when. Unlike before the surgery when I ate whatever and whenever. I am finally comfortable in my skin (even if its a little saggy in some spots.) and I have a good job and wonderfully support and loving people in my life. So yep! Life is real good :) And I am glad to be back!

Kairk! Thank you! And nope I no longer live in Wisconsin. I officially moved back to Alaska, Sitka to be specific in November. But happily the company I work for also provides internet service. So I can at least get online now. Cell phone reception sucks though lol.
