Almost a one year and wanted to say hi

I haven't posted here in awhile. In part because I've been busy and the other part is because somehow once I got over the hump and felt like I figured it all out I kinda just lost touch. Needless to say I am still a work in progress and I guess always will be.

I have no issues to date and it has been a pretty smooth process for me....I always say it is as if I were born this way. I exercise all the time and I eat all the time too. Just to keep my weight up. I am almost 5'8" and have noticed that an increase in physical exercise causes me to loose quickly.

Prior to surgery I had a personal goal of 160-175.....after I found out what surgery could do I changed t to 150.....today I am 133.4......I try to stay at 135 but the scale rocks back and forth and I figure if I keep an eye on it I will be okay.

Looking back I wish I had done this sooner. I enjoy life to the fullest but not anymore then before. If you are reading this and are wondering....just go for it. There is nothing to loose except some unwanted pountds.

I am hoping to visit here more often as I know many people here experience some of the same changes over time. It's so nice to share

Congrats. i was going to use your surgeon if my insurance was going to deny me. I did have to fight hard and did win. yeah. I have good things about him.
You are doing great. My surgery was Oct 28 10, so just a little before you. I agree, am so glad i did this and wish I would not have chickend out 6 years ago when I started this process.
Thanks for sharing your progress.

Hi! so glad it worked for you with insurance. I admit I didn't try very hard. I was so desparate about loosing weight that I figured what else could I do. I was reading posts about ppl waiting years and I figured I had waited long enough.

Congrats on your anniversary too Keep it up!

Congratuations on a great journey.  I've ended up about 20 lbs lighter than I had ever hoped for but my body seems pretty happy here and I am still within my normal range.  Amazing how it works. 

It is truley amazing but as long as we are healthy.

Congrats on your success! Glad to hear you have done so well!

Thank you!

Sounds like you have done great.  Congratulations!!
