Hi. I am just curious...

Sandra- You should log on in more often. We are a fun group and it's nice to be able to see that you are not 'alone' I had a RNY on January 5, 2006. I started at 273 (size 3X top - 22/24 bottom) and am now at 158 pounds (size 10/12 top and bottom). I am 8 pounds away from the doctor's goal and 23 pounds from my goal. I am fortunate - my skin has 'shrunk' as I have shrunk. I do not have any hanging skin - although I would LOVE to have a tummy tuck. My biggest problem has been fatigue. My bloodwork has been fine - but I am so blasted tired. I saw my PCP regarding the fatigue and she had me do a sleep study. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and now that I'm on a CPap, I am really starting to feel better. Please join us more often........ Rose from PA

Hi Sandra and Fellow Bandster, I have lost 170lbs thus far, once starting at 370lbs and I feel so good. I got my surgery done 1/27/06. I am hoping to get down to 140lbs by next summer. I love having the extra energy, and I love being in smaller size clothes. I wear 16 tops, and 20/22 bottoms. Good Luck! Feel free to email me if you wish. Kelli
