4 month update

Hello Everyone, I had my surgery on 6/23/03 and hit the 70 pounds lost today!!! I was sitting at 69 pounds for over a week. I started out at 244 and am 5'4". I am down to 174 today and have gone from a size 22 to a size 16. I have had several complications, including having my stoma close on me which caused vomiting 5 -6 times a day. But they opened that back up and things are going great now. My goal was to lose 100 by Christmas and I am not sure that I will make that goal, but thats OK. My hubby is taking me to Vegas for my 4 month anniversary of surgery and I am so excited about actually fitting into an airplane seat and being comfortable! I would never push or even strongly suggest to someone to have this surgery because of the problems I have had, and I would NEVER want to go through the past four months again. But now that I am feeling better it is worth it.

Just wondering if you would like to share any of the complications. I also had several. One being my thiamine level dropped so low that I was in a wheelchair and have dbl vision. You can not even imagine...
