April 1st Checking in

Good Morning my April Bretheren and Sisteren, I had Lap RNY on April 1st and I am down: 15 lbs since last Thursday! I am very very happy I did this. I am off all pain medications since Monday night. I won't lie about the emotional side of things, it's like having permanent PMS so far, but I blame the anesthesia coming out of my system. (It certainly couldn't just be me being a bit crabby ) The tool works! Best of luck to you all on your journey, ~Lara Lap RNY 4/1/04 400/340/Goal of 260

I'm an "April Fool Loser" too! I've cranked off 14 demon lbs since (gulp) I weighed myself on Monday! I know they say not to weigh yourself and everything but hell....I want to see those little baby steps!! -Sandra

This is so exciting to hear from all you newbie losers. My surgery is in 10 days, and I can't wait. Congrats on all of the poundage loss!! Lara, I'm in Minnesota too. Where did you have your surgery? Bernadette

Howdie Bernadette, I had my surgery with Dr Drew at Abbott Northwestern. (Who and where I LOVE and highly recommend) I go to a great weekly support group there on Tuesdays at 5:30 pm. Would I have seen you there? I'll be there next week. You should check it out if you haven't Even if you end up not liking this one, the ladies there can hook you up with the dates and times of the groups all over the city. They say that the highest success rates are found in patients *****gularly go to support groups. Best of luck to you Bernadette! ~Lara

WECOME HOME LARA!!!! I am right behind you scheduled for Monday, April 12 at 6am...I hope I can come through as HAPPY as you are! You are a great encouragement to me! Congratulations!

Yeah Lara!!! That great, you are an inspiration. I hope I do as well. What is the tool?

The tool is the surgery. I am just reminding myself that the surgery is just one more tool that I have in my arsenal to combat obesity. I am so thankful that I have this tool for my use for the rest of my life! Best of luck to you on your journey Kaylin, ~Lara
