It's been 1 year

Hi Dixie, It has been 1 year for me April 7th,04. I went from 291 to 165. I am off diabetes pills, water pill, nexium stomach pill, take half the high blood presure and arthritis meds, off asthma inhailers, and sleep apnea cpap. I still have some major arthritis in multiple areas, but much more managable due to less pressure on joints. Energy has increased a lot and I don't hessitate to get up and do something, make extra steps/trips etc. I have had it pretty easy as far as weight loss, not at goal but feel good at this weight. I have not had to diet or exersice to a great extent to get these re****s, almost feel guilty. Thanks to having had a DS (Duodeneal Switch) I have had no trouble with throwing up or dumping at all. I have not lost any weight in about 2 months, but my body is still "re-shaping" itelf. I do have lot's of extra skin if anyone wants it. ha ha. Thanks for letting me give my update, and best of luck and health to all *****ad this note. ~Sylvia~

Hi Dixie. That's great you have lost so much weight. I started at 252 and am only down to 160. Did you have any special diet or exercise program? I would love to see results like that Were you ever skinny before you were obese? I am 5'2" but the lowest weight I have ever been was 135 pounds when I was 13 So I am not sure I can see results like that. I have medium bone structure but have always been on the thick side.
