Today I am one year out and everything is going great,Looking back over the year so much has changed I am off all my med's other then my Arthritis med's, but no more HB, Diabetes and no more high cholesterol.  My weight has went from my highest of 375 to 196 for a total lost of 178 lbs. my god that is the size of a adult male, well that is what my son in law weights. I went from a size 4 x shirts to a women's lg, or Jr's. XL and my pants from 3 x stretch and not able to wear jeans at all to size 16 non stretch jeans, So yea I   love Dr. McClellan and my RNY, and new body, Well almost, love my new body, I do have so much hanging skin it looks like shit, but I am seeing a plastic surgeon next week to see if my Ins will pay for me to get it off, ,Other thing's that have changed, I am doing more like redecorating my house I can climb up on chairs now, climb up and down the stairs, sit in a booth, not have everyone look at me when I walk into a store or restaurant,I can fit in the airplane seats and the  belts fits with extra strap, go to the movies and fit in the seat with extra room for my purse, get down on the floor and get back up again, I can walk through the stores with out getting tired, I can help hubby in the yard, clean my house with out sitting down every 5 min, I am just living life like a normal person, A person I never thought I could be, I look back and see pictures of my self last year and think my god why did l let my self get so big, what was I thinking,I am also so very thankful for my friends here on OH everyone has been so helpful I love each and everyone of you.
