Today is the 3 month mark for me, and what a 3 months it has been!  I have gone from a speedy recovery that was short-lived, followed by a bit of a complication, with a little longer recovery. That was followed by a period that felt like 73 years of being the only fat person in the history of RNY to NOT lose any weight, then, all of a sudden I woke up 3 months later -  68.8 # lighter (including the 19 I lost in the 2 months pre-op), digging out size 18 -20 clothes from the back of my closet - BECAUSE THEY FIT, and feeling like a new woman!      At my appointment with Dr. Li today, I found out I am actually 'ahead of schedule' (statistically speaking) having lost 40% of my excess weight already.  It has been 3 months, but I can't believe it has ONLY been 3 months and I have come this far!  I have to say again, Dr Li, Nancy, my nutritionist (I wonder if she'd be offended if I shortened that to "Nancy the Nut" :)  , and all of the office staff have been wonderful through the entire journey so far. From office visits, scheduling, insurance issues, through my problem time, you name it, they have been patient, kind, knowledgeable, and efficient.   I have started working with Dave Gede from the MD board in forming a support group that will meet in Carroll County - and Dr. Li suggeested I take their facilitators class.  I will be doing so the next time it is offerred. I just hope that as wonderful as my journey has been, I can say or do something to help someone elses be a wonderful!
