Topic: RE: ONE YEAR TODAY!!
Thank you Wanda, Linn and Jill for the replies! It is so amazing the changes in my life in the last year. When I think of where I might be had I not had the surgery, I cringe. I know that my health would have deteriorated. But that's behind me now, never to be forgotten but not to be dwelt on. Only looking forward and taking the lessons I've learned from past mistakes and failures to heart and never to be repeated again.
God Bless,
Andi

Best Wishes Topic: ONE YEAR TODAY!!
Hello everyone!
Usually I am a lurker here on the message boards but I just had to write and say how utterly thrilled I am today.
One year ago today I had an Open RNY at Barix Clinics in Columbus, Ohio.
I have lost 123 lbs. I went from a size 30 to a size 14, a 12 in some clothes. I went from 315 lbs to 192. It's been over 20 years since I have seen the 100's.....tooo cool! I am 5'7 1/2 inches tall. I feel sooo good.
My blood pressure is normal, blood sugars: normal, cholesterol: normal. I can cross my legs, wear heels again, fit in all kinds of chairs. Went to the Gund Arena last weekend and was able to sit in the seat AND cross my legs!!! I can feel my ribs and hip bones...lol....so many things I can do now that I couldn't before....walking doesn't kill my legs and hips...I could go on forever. The only down point is that I have been on a plateau for the last two months, keep gaining and losing the same 3 lbs over and over...lol....still not gonna complain too much, considering where I was a year ago.
Well just wanted to let ya know, it's my RE-birthday!! 
I have to get down to Columbus for my year post op visit soon. What's really nice is that I am going to Arizona this spring and I don't have to worry about crowding someone out on the plane OR buy two seats because I am too big.
God bless the pioneers of this life changing surgery and the doctors, nurses and all the staff at Barix who help change and save lives.
Blessings to all

Congratulations, Sherri, on reaching goal! And within one year....that's awesome! I've received quite a few compliments but haven't received the "you're too skinny" one yet. Still working on it though!
Take care........Wanda
Topic: RE: Are you still losing?
I'm probably losing about 1 pound every two weeks now. So far, I've lost 80 pounds and would like to lose another 30. I feel great but I sure would feel even better 30 pounds lighter.
