Happy 2014

Dec 31, 2013

Happy New Year, everyone.

Seeing that 2013 is now in nearly everyone's rear view mirror, I thought it might be a good idea to do a then and now post. 

I've been really lucky.  My surgery went exceptionally well.  I've had no complications and my results are just about where I want/need them to be.  I'm not at goal yet; I'm hoping to reach that benchmark in February (which will be 10 months post-op).  But my clothing size and measurements are beyond what I could have hoped for prior to weight loss surgery.

So, without further ado, here are Karen's stats, January 2013 vs. January 2014:

Weight:  237 lbs.-->137 lbs.

Pants/Jeans:  size 20--> size 4 to size 0 (I have only one pair of jeans in that latter size, but what the heck!)

Tops:  size 20-->size 6 to size 0 (again, I have one sweater in an XS, which I'm equating to a 0)

Bust:  45"-->34"

Waist:  45"-->28.5"

Hips:  47.5"-->34.5"

Thigh:  25.5"-->17.5"

Bicep:  14"-->10"

I have no complaints about this surgery.  My only regret is not doing it about 20 years sooner.  Thanks to everyone on OH for sharing their knowledge and experience.  I wish us all a terrific new year.
