Morning of surgery. 318lbs, size 26/28 shirt & pants


5 months post-op. 235 lbs, size 18/20 shirt & pants


Still learning to love my DS, but I do LIKE it a lot!!

Even better than the physical though, is that I feel so much better. My energy ispicking up, my mood has improved - although I do still take my anti-depression meds, they seem to be working better, or I am just better.

Overall, just feeling better about my self as a person - and not just a waste of space!!

Way to go Gayle, you're doing great! I Had to chuckle about your "waste of space" comment because it fit so precisely how I felt post DS. The expressions on your face really tell the story; I know, I've been there. And it just gets better and better!

Oh and welcome out of lurkdom!

Gayle, you have done AWESOME! The "waste of space" comment hit home. The first step for me getting past that was deciding that I was worth the DS in the first place. I too take my meds as directed. They DO work better for me now also. I think I am in a  better place, mentally and physically. Life is good now. And it just keeps getting better. So glad you came out of lurkdom! We're good peeps. HUGS!!
