Default Joyful 6 month out
Hi there!

I'm Annika from Sweden. 37 years old, mom to a bunch of kids and happily married. I've been overweight almost all my life, tried every diet under the sun... After 20 moths of waiting I finally got my Gastric Bypass surgery the 11th of January this year.

Everything has gone so well! No complications what so ever. Up til now I've lost 90 pounds! I have a whole lot more to lose, but I feel slim and beautiful already! I started with a BMI at 58 and now its 45. I can do so much more than before. I'm on my way to a new life! So greatful to God!

Hugs & blessings,

Annika

Annika it trul is a blessing to be able to really live life to be a part of life. Being able to do the things you couldn't do before the weight. I am sure it is a priceless feeling. Congrats on the 90 pounds lost. My prayers go out to you for ongoing sucess.
