Just an update

Hello everyone....I know it has been a while since I posted; but wanted to give everyone an update. I had my surgery on May 25, 2004 (OPEN RNY) and as of this morning these are my statistics: Original Weight: 394 Weight today: 312 Original Top size: 5x Top size today: 1x Original Pant size: 5x Pant size today: 38/40 Feeling of relief: Unmeasurable; I was originally taking 3 blood pressure medicines; plus water pills daily; now I am down to 1/2 of a blood pressure pill daily and my water pills only 3 times a week....what a savings on prescription meds...unbelievable. I hope everyone else is having the same success....IT IS GREAT... Betty Myers Jefferson City, MO

WOW you are doing wonderful! You keep up the GREAT work! It truly is a wonderful feeling isn't it! lisa c 423/320/???

Betty, You are doing GREAT!! I had my surgery 2 days after you... and I've lost 87 lbs. as of yesterday... I started at just few lbs. less than you (391) ~~ I am not seeing as big of a difference in my sizes as you are... but I guess we are all moving at our own pace... I started at a 5-6X in tops and am now doing 2x-3x and in pants... I started at like 5x (we be bops) and 32-34's and am now just starting to get in to 24's... I get so jealous when I read on here that some people are already in 14's and 16's... but have to remember we all move at our own pace... I wasn't on any pills before surgery... just always huffing and puffing and not a very happy camper... life is definately getting better... and the throwing up has started to subside a little bit... so perhpas there is a rainbow in sight!! Congrats on your success Betty... Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing... Hugs, Loree 391/304/175

Betty- WOW-you are an inspiration! Keep up the great work! Hugs, Susan
