3 years and happier than ever

May 06, 2013

It has been 3 years since my Roux N Y 5/4/2010 and I have kept off 110 of the 120 pounds I lost.  I am now working on getting that 10 pounds back off with lots of exercise and going back to weighing, measuring and keeping a food diary.  Not going to let it creep up on me again.

My biggest goal and achievement after the weight loss was defeating C-diff after some major infections and 10 weeks in the hospital including a pulmonary embolism.  With the help of a fecal transplant in February 2011, I have been c-diff free ever since.

Yes there were some major hurdles, my surgery did not go smoothly, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I have a full life back, I am no longer using a breathing machine at night, no more asthma.  Absolutely no prescription drugs of any kind. 

I exercise religiously, swimming laps, walking while playing golf, engaging in different programs such as Move to Lose at my local YMCA.  I went from a size 24 down to a size 10 and have maintained that size for two years and counting.  

Good Luck  to all of you who are just starting out on your journey.  All my thoughts and prayers are with you.  You won't be disappointed.
