Hello, my name is Mini Mckenna and I had my surgery back on March 25, 2008 and I have lost about 38lbs in only 8 weeks and went from size 22/24 to 14 and all is good so far. I have been overweight for the last 20 or so years. I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2001 high blood pressure and High cholesterol which they call the triple whammy. Since my surgery my blood pressure is normal and I was taken off the three blood pressure medications. My diabetes is also getting better I am down to 1 medication for that. Hopefully I will be off all medications by June. The best decision I made was to have the surgery and have it done along with my husband who has been my support system from the beginning.

7 month Progress
on November 13, 2008 5:47 pm

Well it's been a while since i posted anything about my progress. It's been 7 months since my surgery and I am down to a size 6 /7 and 76 lbs. lighter. I am finally starting to enjoy life so much more and doing so much that i couldn't because of my bad knee's. It is also nice to be called the skinny one of my family.

Well I am down to 145lbs. and I went from size 24 to size 9. I can't believe
that I am down 66lbs. in just 4 1/2 months. I am hoping to reach my goal weight of 120lbs. by October 25, 2008.

I haven't been updating this site for a while. I am
down 57lbs and finally off my diabetes medication.
I am also feeling so much better. Yesterday I was able to attend a pilaties class and kept up with the instructor which really shocked me.
