I just wanted to update because I haven't done so in a few months. 

I had RNY on 2-23-07 with a starting weight of 197lbs., borderline diabetes, high blood pressure and sky high cholesterol even on medication. I was wearing a size 18 jean when I came home from the hospital.

Today I weigh 107lbs. and I am wearing a size 2 pant and xs tops.  I am astounded by my success, my docs set a goal of 120 and I have by far passed that goal. My labs are all within normal limits and I look and feel better than I have in years!  I did have a slight setback in August when I had an internal Peterson's hernia repair and my gallbladder out, but have been fine since.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year! Thanks for all the support this last year!

I am now almost 7 months post -op. Starting weight was 197lbs. and wearing a size 18 jeans. Today I weigh 115lbs, and wear a size 2-4 jeans. I am completely astounded by the results!!!! I fell great, physically as well as emotionally. My blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure are all normal now! I am just so grateful to have had this surgery and been able to have such a life change! 

I thought I would give a brief update since I had my 5 month f-up appt today. To date I have lost 70lbs and am doing very well. I went from 197lbs and a size 18 jean to 127lbs and wearing a size 6 jean!!! I could not be better, physically and mentally. I will be having labs done tomorrow to see how my sugar and cholesterol are doing too. I was so happy to go to the doctor today and have my BP taken with a regular cuff, I know this sounds ridiculous, but it just made my day. It is so great to be able to walk into any store and buy regular, trendy clothes! I am just so grateful to have been given this opportunity, it was by far the best decision I ever made, for myself and my family!!!

I haven't updated in a while, so here goes. I had my surgery on 2-23-07 and have lost exactly 60lbs so far, I know this because I had a follow-up today with my surgeon. I am extremely pleased with my results so far and so is he. I was 197lbs when I started this program wearing a size 18. Today I weigh 137lbs and wear a size 8-10. I haven't felt this good physically or mentally in years. Any doubts I had about having this procedure are a blur in the past, I know now that this was the best decision for me and my family. Everyone at OH has been very supportive and helpful, I really appreciate it all! I will update next month, I will be seeing my nutritionist then!

I haven't updated in a while, so here goes. I had my RNY on 2-23-07 and am down almost 50lbs. since then. When I came home from the hospital, my jeans were a size 18, now they are a 10. I haven't been this small since way before having children. I am so happy with the results so far, I feel like I've been given a second chance. I feel much better physically, but more than that I am feeling better about myself, not embarassed to be seen in public anymore. Not embarassed for my kids to be seen with me. I actually look forward to getting on the scale everyday to see what's going to happen. Sometimes it good, sometimes it not, but it is all better than before 2-23-07.
