Hi...I was just wondering how far out you all are...just wanted to get to know you a little more since I'm the new kid on the block...I'm 4 years out. Deanna K

I am 5 months out on Tuesday. It has went by so fast I can hardly believe it. Jill

I had my laproscopic surgery in June of 2005, so I am a little over a year out and at GOAL!! hehe! Joy

I am almost 11 months out, 12/9/06 will be my one year anniversary. Jody

Wow...I'm feeling like an old timer!!! I sure wish I was still in that awesome honeymoon stage. It is soooo exciting!!!

Hi Deanna! I am about 2 1/2 years out. I lost 177 pounds and have been maintaining that for about a year. I am a forty four year old stay at home mom with three kids. My girls just turned thirteen and fifteen, and my son seventeen. When they were ages one, three and five I said the next time things would be so tough was the year they turned thirteen, fifteen and seventeen. I was wrong thank goodness! I loved the young years so much, but I think this is my favorite phase. I wish I could freeze things right now! I've been married 24 years. We moved here from San Francisco twelve years ago. We love Oregon! I live right up the way from you (up Hwy 43). I can meet at the McDonalds in West Lynn any time (they have the balls for the kiddies to play in). Also, the group here manages to get together when we can for lunch or breakfast a various locals. I attend support at Good Sam Hospital in Portland monthly. It is run by Obesity Institute but is open to anyone. Welcome to Portland! Patty

Hey Patty when is the nex good sam meeting maybe I should go

Im two years out from Lap band and loving everyday ! Welcomce ! Gail

I'll be six months out in a few weeks. down 105 lbs since i started the process a year ago...

I think I may be the fart here... 3 years and a month out. Maintaining a weight of 161 now for 3 months... still shooting for improvement while using the tool that wonderfully still works... joined a health club since I am new to the area... and bought 30 personal trainer appts... if this doesnt tighten up what is left I am gonna go for the body contouring I think... I am far enough out that I believe I am safe... and the mushy parts are getting anoying. But the fact that I can fit it in a size 6... makes it look good enough with clothes. And I have the energy that I knew was there somewhere... It has been a spectacular ride, with lots of learning... and I am greatful every day for what my surgeon did for me.
