10.5 years out
Hello everyone! I haven't been here in so long. Here's a quick update. I never got down as low as my surgeon wanted. He told me I "still weigh a lot for a girl". But I have kept my weight in the same decade after losing 120#s for 10 years. I fell in love with hiking. I get tears in my eyes at the top of a mountain because I'm so thankful that my body can do this now. I struggle with 3 different kinds of anemia. Take your vitamins! Do something to make yourself sweat everyday.
I have lost 115#'s. I had my surgery on January 20, 2004.
