I'm 10 days away from my 3 year anniversary of having my RNY, Its been a great journey for me and I cant believe my life now. There is actually a whole new life I never ever dreamed about. I use to dream all the time cause I couldn't leave my home so dreaming took the actual place of living outside my home but I swear living life is a hell of alot better then just dreaming. I started out 3 years ago weighing 745 pounds BMI of 95.7 and now I weigh 295 pounds BMI of 36.9 thats still amazes me losing 450 pounds and 50 BMI Points. Anyone that is thinking about having surgery and your sitting there scared and not living life, I would say go for it you cant even imagine the fun I am having now. I am flying out to California for the 2004 Obesityhelp National Convention on October 28th. to meet all the members from the website, going to have a blast at the Halloween party, I'm excited cant wait till it gets here! Last week I rescued 2 baby kittens from the side of the highway they were laying next to their dead momma so I brought them home and their names are Ying and Yang. Here is a picture I took on October 3rd. 2004. I will be writing again soon, Take care and God Bless.
