ROLLCALL 4 YEARS POSTOP!

Hi everyone Just thought I'd post a roll call for all of us now 4 years postop! I had my gastric bypass surgery May 2, 2003. Lost the great majority of my 225 lbs in my first 17 months out and have since been maintaining. I had 3 rounds of reconstructive plastic surgery from Jan to April 05 (and unfortunately am still dealing with complications related to keloiding, adhesions and nueropathies) though my weight's continued to remain stable. In December 05, I started working at Bally Total Fitness in King of Prussia, PA as a certified personal trainer. I had to stop in August '06 given the ongoing pain from the reconstructive surgeries, but do train from home as I am able. Also, I've been getting more involved in my photography and have been working part-time as a photographer. Hope this finds everyone well and sending lots of hugs to all!!!!

Hey Caroline! I'm also now 4 YEARS out!! Wow!! What a great "ride"!! I hold steady between 191 and 195 pounds. If I go over 197, I star****ching the little things (they really do add up) and those extra pounds soon melt away. I've never had any problem with throwing up. I do eat anything I want and am on no medications. I struggle to remember to take all my vitamins, but try each day. Please - let's have some more response to you "4 year out" folk!!!!! God bless you all! Lori 344/192/192.5
