6 Month

It has been 6 months since my D.S. surgery, and all I can say is Wow!!! I was officially down 100 pounds, just by the skin of my teeth, but it was officially 100 pounds!!! I have since lost another 6 pounds this week alone. There have been no problems so far, I haven't had any more bathroom issues than I did before surgery, well except for more gas if I eat too much white flour, and I would be lying if I said the poo didn't stink, it does -but a small price to pay for over 100 pounds. I haven't had my labs run for my 6 months yet, but I feel great and was really blessed by not losing my hair as some people do, so far I have had a dream surgery and recovery so far. I really think that this is going to work, and after most of my childhood and all of my adult life being over weight to severely morbidly obese it is a dream come true.The DS allows me to eat great tasting food, and it is fantastic not to have to worry about fat content of my food, because I only absorb about 20% of it and then the rest just leaves my body, basically in one end and out the other, this was for me a true dream surgery. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me.
Best wishes to all,
Deb
