Well it has been almost 4 months since surgery...

Jul 26, 2009

And I am glad to report, I no longer have acid reflux eating away at my voicebox and aggravating my asthma; in fact, I don't even have to take medicines for it anymore.

My asthma is finally under control, no more wheezing or hacking cough, and I don't need the nebulizer and don't use my emergency inhaler anymore. Oh, I keep it on hand, but I am managing my asthma with 1 puff of a controller inhaler morning and night.

I am exercising at the gym 5-7 days a week! OMG! I NEVER would have done this prior to WLS! 3 days of weight bearing exercises and 3-4 of cardio.

I have gone from a size 22P to a 14P and lost 24" all over my body, 12" were off my rump alone!
I am down 42 lbs and feel AMAZING!

I have run into people that I knew before my WLS who don't even recognize me... In fact, the lady at the bank said to me, "You are going to have to have a name tag when you come in here because you look so different every time I see you that I hardly recognize you!"

Here is a before and "still in progress" photo:
