Hi Susan... welcome to Thinner Times... Your TT is right around the corner in less than a month. CONGRATULATIONS on your journey.
My story is a bit bumpy from lapband to RNY, the former with complications, the RNY with a breeze and a minor hiccup.
My weight loss has been glorious and I relish every single day I bound up and down stairs in seconds where pre-op I'd have to hold on to the hand rail for dear life worrying that I'd fall down, or not make it up; that I stand for more than 3 minutes because I couldn't stand pre-op; And every single time I take my dog out for a walk, because walking is what I couldn't do pre-op. Yes, there's more that I'm grateful for. It's really been a total life change/transformation for me, and it isn't over yet.
For me, what it boiled down to, was to enjoy life again and not look forward to death.
I wish you all the changes you know you want, and lot's of great surprises in the many, many years to come.
