It has been one year today since my Open RNY in Ypsilanti, MI, and so far, I am thrilled with the results. I'm down 130 pounds and 9 jeans sizes. I now exercise 5 times a week and I even enjoy it. I feel like a normal person who looks nice in my clothes as long as I wear proper foundation garments to support and smooth my deflated abdomin and chest. I'm wearing my wedding rings again for the first time in over 2 years, and at a smaller size than they were before. My family and friends are proud of my achievement, but I don't know if any one of them can understand how huge and important this accomplishment is to me. I'm no longer on anti-depressants or seeing a therapist, and my doctor is completely supportive of those changes. I feel like I'm finally the person who I knew I could be! I'd like to lose 30 more pounds and have a very healthy pregancy (as soon as I have clearance from my doctors), but otherwise, I'm very, very content! Thanks for all the support that I've found here. AMOS has made the whole journey so much easier!! RNY 9/5/01 - 329 lbs to 199 lbs

Hello AMOS family! I've just had my 3 month check-up with my surgeon, and I've lost 69 lbs since my Open RNY! I'm thrilled with my progress and how smoothly everything has gone. I feel blessed and more motivated than ever. I still come to this page daily, and I don't know what I'd do without it!

Hi Claire, It was nice meeting you at the hospital. I'm sorry we didn't get to visit more, but it was a lot of work just walking and sleeping. Good luck. Peace, Karen

Claire is faring very well after her surgery. I talked to her this afternoon and she said for the most part she is very impressed with the BTC. Dr Lane has her on antibiotics due to a slight fever...nothing to fear but be precautionary about. All in all shes walking and sipping...you know, the law of the land at this point. Have fun scrubbing in your first shower...its HEAVEN! Congrats and happy new birthday! (((((HUGZ)))) Tam
