Happy Anniversary

Wednesday, June 2, 2004, I celebrated my one-year anniversary from gastric bypass surgery. What a year it has been. I am down 118 pounds from my starting weight. I am down toa size 16 from a 28/30. I can walk without feeling like I might need an ambulance and oxygen to get me to my next destination, I can lotion my own legs and feet without passing out from holding my breath. I can see my feet when I look down at them and I have an actual figure. I am happier than words can ever express. I feel like a new woman. Thank you Dr. Bauman and al the folks at the Weightloss Surgery Center who heped make this happen.

Hi Lela, I'm a June '03 person too! (the 13th). You've done fabulous! Moving through life is easier after WLS. Congratulations on your life-changing year. I have no regrets (I just need to try and get that liquid in. Seems 60-70 oz a day just isn't enough to not be dehydrated.) All the best, Renee

I am coming up on anniversary number 2 and I am down 140 pounds so far. My goal is to lose another 15 pounds, but Lord knows, it is extremely hard. I have been at the same weight for over 3 months now. I know I should be happy, and don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic. I just want to reach my goal.
