What a Difference a Year Makes!!!
My RNY surgery was on 06-04-2002. My highest weight was around 500 lbs, measured at home by standing on two bathroom scales. I started losing weight before I went to my surgeon. My surgeon's official starting weight was 466 lbs. I now weigh 266 lbs and still losing. I went from custom made (and EXPENSIVE!!!) dresses for work in probably a size 70+. I now wear size 26 and can walk into WalMart and shop from the rack!!! What a feeling!!! I can't wait to see what this next year brings. I have lots of lose skin and that takes some getting used to. But when this 'Work in Progress' is done, I plan on hitting up my insurance company for reconstructive plastic surgery. Good luck to all of you Losers!!! Big Hugs, Sharon
