I am 39 years old and had gastric bypass surgery on 12/19/06. My life really has changed for which I am grateful. I have gone from a size 24 to a 6. I am now healthy and fully participate in my life.

14.5 months post-op
on March 3, 2008 7:40 pm
Hi everyone...still maintaining around 141-142; was actually 140.4 for a day but just haven't made it to 139! (my secret goal is just to hit the 130's even for a day!) All continues to be well. It is still work to maintain as I try to be very careful about what I eat; somedays I feel like I can eat so much and other days, I fill up more quickly. I continue to feel very fortunate how well this surgery has worked for me. I am posting a new pic today!

13 months post-op
on January 21, 2008 11:21 am

I am 13 months post-op and still feeling really good. I thought the holidays were challenging with all of the Christmas goodies around everywhere. My weight did fluctuate but I am happy to report that I am maintaining at 143, a 137 pound lost. I am still amazed.  My personal goal would be to weigh around 135 and I am working slowly towards that. I am in no rush as my real goal is to be healthy and strong. I am a little frustrated with the extra skin on my belly and inner thighs but, in clothes, I look fine. When I started this journey, I was just hopeful to someday wear a size 12. I wear a 6 now, which is so unbelieveable to me. My head still has some catching up to do with my body as I continue to see myself as a big person. When someone says to me, "you are small" it is really hard for me to believe still.

Hi everyone. I am one year post-op tomorrow and continue to feel really good. I have lost 136 pounds and am down to 144 and a size 6 for the most part. What an amazing year this has been and I am so very thankful that this Christmas I am feeling healthy and strong.

Nine months out!

Well, I am 9 months post op and I continue to feel great. I have lost 128 pounds and am about 15 pounds from goal and just 6 pounds overweight! (That is just amazing to me!) I feel great and am having fun shopping for size 8s! (That to me is a miracle!)

My Story

My story is probably very much like your own. I was overweight and unhappy with how I looked and felt. Everyday I was tired and I started making decisions not to participate in certain activities because of my weight. I have wonderfully supportive parents, siblings and friends who have encouraged me every step of the way.

I had RNY on Dec. 19, 2006 and it was the right decision for me. Since the day I got home from the hospital, I have felt better and looked better. Every day is a good day.
