I have began to live life! My mood and overall outlook on everything is amazing!! I feel like a new person. My HW was 333 and my CW is 224.4 which is over a hundred lbs of weight off of my bones, my mind, my physical being, my outer appearance that I don't have to share with anyone including myself. It's a great burden that has been lifted. I'm off all my anti depressants and anxiety medications. I feel confident enough to join a gym this week. My skin is amazing and my acne is gone! I'm still waiting for my periods to not be so heavy. I have so much energy compared to before the surgery. I'm so grateful for my supportive husband who didn't think twice about letting me do this in an unconventional way. It was a risk that has paid off. I even inspired a local friend to have surgery and she is doing well. This is not the easy way out so don't think that. It's a lot of hard work and mentally straining. It's been a long 6 months but an amazing journey that's not over yet. Good luck to anyone that is contemplating the same for yourself. Take a leap, you're worth it!!
