5 Month Surgiversary!
Nov 25, 2007
Hello OH Friends,
Just checking in for my 5 Month surgiversary. I am down 106 lbs and down from a size 32/34 to a 22/24. My quality of life is 150 times better. And it is so nice to be able to shop in a store, rather than online. I actually love to try on clothes now, where before it would make me so sad and depressed. I will post a 5 mth pic soon...

MY RA seems to be in remission! I have not had any pain since I have lost this weight! Did I say how much I love my RNY!?! I also am only doing one Enbrel injection a month, yes I said month!! Not weekly or every 2 weeks anymore!!
4 Months Post Op Today!!
Oct 25, 2007
Well, today is my 4th Month Surgiversary and I am down a total of 95.3 lbs since my first appt with the Maine Bariatric Center and 69.5 lbs since my surgery on 6/25. I can't tell you how much my life has changed for the better due to this WONDERFUL tool and the help of Dr Cobean and the staff at MBC and my friends on OH.com I am finally living my life!!
In this process I have found myself by overcoming depression and grown closer to Jesus Christ, I was baptized on October 7th and I love my new Church Family at Stroudwater Christian Church!! In a couple years, I plan on going to their short term missions to Nicaragua and Guatamala. I want to be in the best physical shape before I do. But I will get there!!!

I had my first post op appointment with Maine Bariatric on 7/26. They were very pleased with my progress. I can now start eating soft foods and moist meats. I have lost 30 lbs in the first month. Still losing about a lb a day. Monday I start back at Curves. Hopefully, it will start coming off faster!
