Why I'm Glad I Had Gastric Bypass Surgery

In my last post, I promised to post some before and after pics. 

 The first picture is from June 2008, when I weighed my heaviest 
(approx. 294 pounds).

By August 18, 2009, the day of my surgery, 
I was down to 283 pounds:

By August 18, 2012, exactly three years after surgery, 

and one month after my tummy tuck, 
this is the final result (143 pounds):

And, a couple of weeks later, my first selfie!

So, there you have it.!!

A journey that started in January 2008 has ended better than I ever expected or hoped.

Good luck to all who are contemplating bypass surgery!
