Topic: What is kate yodate??????????
Well I really did proof read my last post but not the title. I have no idea where my fingers were on the key board? Can't blame drugs--I'm only taking tylenol. Bet it got your attention though. Julia
Topic: Kate yodate
Well it is 5 days past my two year mark. I didn't post on the 10th because I had just returned from the hospital after an extended tummy tuck and Belph of my eylids. and was sore, tired and sleepy. Pain has not been bad but just sore---like doing a lot of situps. I see great results coming with both eyes and tummy.
I am now 59.5 years old
Starting weight 321
Current weight is 153.2 and still swollen from the surgery.
Lowest wieght 150.2
Total lost to my lowest weight 170.8. I am hoping in the next few weeks to acctually drop that 6.5 pound of fat and skin removed.
I have had so many changes in two years as we all have. My co-morbidities are gone--gone---well except a little arthritis in the knees! Love this surgery
Congrats to all of my April friends, in moving into year 3. Julia

Congratulations on your 2nd surgiversary and your great weight loss.
Doesn't it feel so great to be able to buy regular clothes and look good. Also you have to feel physically so much better and have lots more energy.
Here is to your continued success

Well, I am 2 yrs post op!
Where in the world did those go too? I am stuck at about 185-180lbs. Which coming from 421lbs, I don't mind at all. Just some skin issues I have, but in time that will tone, or I will get it removed, its no biggie, for today. ;)
I am dealing with a small ulcer, which I take OTC meds and they are working. Life has been so different with being able to wear jeans, and other clothes, I never thought I would ever be able to wear and look good in.
I mean coming from a 32 pant, 5xl-4xl top...to a 18 pant , large- xl top...DAMN! LOOK OUT WORLD..FOR THE NEW ME!
Just wanted to give a little yay! And Thank you all who were there along my journey, with many more years to come. Thank you for the prayers, and encourgements. I wanted to thank NAT, You are my hero, no matter what...My angel...( with hidden horns). Especially when Will got sick, you and David were there, all the time.
THANK YOU!
I love you all.

congrats Carol, on your two year birthday you look beautiful! mine is coming up on the 25th. I lost 130lbs and have stayed there for the last year. I'm happy with where I'm at.... size 10 but I see all of these other people size 4-6 and get a little jealous. I have to remember that I'm healthy now and I'm much happier!
btw... I have a sulfer crested ****atoo also... her name is Daisy Duke, she is two years old and just as sweet as can be.

Carol, we have the same anniversary. I forgot to even post mine yesterday April 5. You have done a fantastic job and I am glad your labs are "almost" normal. My 2 year appointment is Wednesday and my labs came back within normal range. My top weight in 2000 was around 350lbs. I lost down to around 260 with an illness and when I got better proceded to start gaining again so when I started to look into WLS I was 290, at surgery 269 and now 155.
I feel so much better too. I only wish I could of had surgery before it did the damage to my joints.I had one knee replaced in December and in the future will need further surgery. I have a date for a hernia repair, abdominoplasty and breast lift in July.
Wishing you and all of us continued good health and happiness.
Sher

Yesterday/Saturday was my 2 year anniversary from RNY. My top weight was 301, Surgery weight was 291, Today I weigh 119. Total weight loss for me is 181 lbs. I feel much better and have an appt with surgeon on tuesday for 2 year check up. I had gotten down to 116 and called aneroxic by my physician and family and friends. I am doing much better now, blood work came back almost normal last week.
I hope to hear from everyone on their 2 years anniversaries, This site and mainly this forum helped me thru so many hard times, gave me a place to share my Wows and stalls etc. I appreciate each and everyone of you here.
