1 year since surgery
Jul 15, 2008
I had my year checkup with Dr. Clough. He was so proud of me. even said I looked beautiful..I weighed 151 lbs.Yippie. I am 9 lbs below My Goal. His goal was 145lbs. The only thing that was wrong I was Vit. D defficent, he gave me a prescribtion and all wil be ok. Then I went to the nutrish . I was 150 lbs...Yippie Amanda said I did a great job and she was proud of me. She also told me I was healthy, imagine first time in my life I was told I was healthy. Only thing they want me to start taking two multy vit. a day instead of one. Which is no big deal they want everyone to start doing the same thing.
I feel to good about myself happy and healthy with ME.. I even like myself alot more. I thought I was a happy person before but WOW I even feel it now. Everyone says I smile more than I did before.
I never thought I would be told with a BMI of 26.2 that I was healthy. They didnt care so much about my BMI it was the amount of fat in my body. I only have 33.2% in my hole body. I started out with 47.9%. It has been hard work but it is so worth everything you go thur to get to this point.
A year ago I was thinking I have nothing to lose but weight. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I would lose 80lbs,,Did it say 80lbs..Everyone is different in how much they lose. every pound that you lose is all good.
I could go on for hours just know if you are reading my post. I am very proud of myself and happy and healthy..I am glad I had the surgery even with all the ups and down. If your thinking about having this surgery make sure you do it for all the right reasons..FOR YOURSELF.
This surgery gave me my life back. Thank you Dr. Clough and Thank you Barb Erving
To be happy and healthy about your self is the Best.

It is all worth everything you go thru to get to this WOW moment. I think this surgery is the best thing I could have done for myself. To be Happy and Healthy all at the same time is so great. I am very proud of myself. My doctors goal is 145lbs..I think anything after MY goal is all bonus.. I am doing the happy dance with a big smile on my face..

My Journey
Dec 08, 2007
My husband has been a great support person for me never in my life thought he would be, we have been married 22 years been together 27 years and I love him so much,
Yesterday was the first time I played horse shoes since my surgery and I kicked major butt, I go with my dad it great to make him feel so proud of me. I have so much more stamina then I ever did before.
I walk 2 miles 5 & 6 days a week at a range of 3.0 -3.5 It wonderful game I play trying to get to 15 minute mile. Im down to 18 min. miles. I use my theraband 3 days a week with arm exercises. I have a ab lounger that I do 20 sit and holds 5 days a week. Never thought I would miss exercise when I take a break on weekends or Sundays..
I am 4 months out from surgery down 59lbs. I know everyone loses different. I am so happy with my weight loss so far and MORE to come.
Thanks for listening
