Cheri B.
My name is Cheri. I had WLS on Aug. 8, 2006. I had lap rny. I beleive this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have lost 48lbs. in 2 months & 1 week and I know I would not have been able to do that by myself. I have alot of support from my family and friends. My husband has been great. He supports me totally. My sister had open rny in 2003 and I could not beleive how much that surgery helped her both physicaly and mentally.She has been alot of help and great support to me. I am so happy that I made this decision to change. I will say that I beleive you have to be mentally ready for it.But it is worth it.

I haven't done very well at keeping my journal updated. I have lost a total of 55lbs as of today. I can't beleive it's me when I look in the mirror, but it sure makes me happy. I am having problems with clothes. If I wear something that actually fits me I feel like I'm fat again, so I catch myself wearing my clothes that are too big for me. I know it is pyhcological but it is something I'm having a hard time dealing with. But don't get me wrong I am so happy that I made this choice to change my life for the better. I know I can work thru this small detail. I had to have an ultrasound done on my gallblader last Fri. It was bad so I am going to have to have it removed. Am waiting on the Dr. office to set up surgery date. Sure hope it is soon so I can get to feeling better.
