Topic: Belated Birthday to me!
Hello everyone. Let me first say my computer has been down for soooo long. My one year anniversary was on the 17 of this month. I sooo wanted to be online. Oh well. Life has changed SOOO much this past year. I actually have a life now. I have bounds of energy and can't sit still if my life depended on it. Even my foot taps constantly all day and all night(although I was told early on that a constant twitch of some kind burned off 600 caleries a day doing it)so I have gotten into a habit of it. Anyway. I have went from a size 26 to a size 2 268 to 119. I am about back to my weight where I was long time ago...actually I was 110-115...but since I am older now, I think that is just to thin. People tell me repeatedly that they can't tell I was ever over weight to begin with. I am just so thankful for this surgery. I hope to stay online for awhile now. lol

Topic: 1 yr Lab & Check up... & quite a WOW
Yesterday was my 1 yr check up with Surgeon & results of labs...... Absolutely PERFECT and according to my Dr, I'm at the "ideal" weight for my height....not just normal, not just good, but IDEAL and said I looked like I've been playing tennis all my life!
Has it be difficult? Yes. Frustrating? Yes. Challenging? Yes
Worth it? ABSOLUTELY
Wishing you all continued success,
Pam

Topic: RE: INPUT PLEASE
Nat I would be happy to help. We really need people who have gone through this surgery, that are off some of their meds, or do not have something wrong anymore because of the surgery. Like high bloodpressure and etc. I am healthier, and so happy I chose this for myself, however it has not helped any medical condition I had, which was only the panic attacks. I was lucky not to have high bloodpressure, or any other problems due to being obese. I was still morbidly obese, and needed to lose the weight so I can live a longer healthier life. I would be glad to write on how much I have lost, and how it has saved my life. I hope those out there that had real bad medical problems before surgery, and have gotten alot better will write too. I think those are the oned that will really make a difference!- Melissa
