Hi I am new to this group!

My surgery was 5/22/03. I started 256lbs and now I am at 126lbs. I have been through a lot in the past 19 months. But my weight loss has stablized for the most part. I am glad to have found this group and get support from people like me. Thank you ! and Happy new year!

Kim Your weight loss is INCREDIBLE!! Good for you! Hard to believe the time flies so quickly, isn't it? People ask me (like I'm an EXPERT???) about my surgery -- especially if they are contemplating it. I tell them all the time ... just DO IT!!!! It's wonderful! I'm 5'10" and weigh 155 (though I feel like my clothes are a bit looser the last few days - so maybe I need to weigh myself again). I wouldn't mind losing another 10 pounds. But it hasn't happened yet -- and I'm not going to fuss to much!

Hello, I too am new to this group. I had my open RNY the day before you on 5/21/03. I started at about 333 lbs and currently weigh 172 lbs with a personal goal weight of 155 lbs. I am 5'6" and 35 years old. I don't have much excess skin except on my upper arms and I have a consult scheduled with a plastic surgeon for March to find out what they can do for me. Talk to you soon, Susan 333/172/155
