Hi All,
I had my surgery 7/29/02. I am down 90 lbs. Not as fast as some, but I feel great. I am healthy. No complications at all, except for a small hernia. That will be repaired in Nov, and I will get a TT at the same time. I am 175 and feeling wonderful!

I had my surgery July 31st, 2002 and I have lost 140lbs so far. I really can't believe what a life change this has been, it is the best thing that I ever did for myself and my family. I still feel like I have a way to go, and I will definately need a tummy tuck, the skin hanging everywhere is pretty gross. I have had no regrets at all!
Topic: RE: How is everyone doing
I had mine on July 17, 2002. I've lost about 120 pounds so far. I have about 50 to go. I started at 325, so I'm pretty happy. It's nice to see others from the same time!

Hey DeeDee,
Unfortunately the weight loss slows doen to a crawl--unless you do something drastic to speed it up. When mine slows down more than I want it to-- I do the "Atkins Induction phase" and I cazn drop 8-12 lbs in the week that I do this. Something you may want to try...
Good luck,
Elena

Hi,
I had my surgery on 7/25/02 and so far I'm down 122 lbs. I'm at goal ( I thin-- caue I keep cahnging it) wearing a size 6 and feel pretty good.
I'm eating lots more than I used to so I have to make sure I make "good" food choices. I gave up sugar and sodas completely--- but everything else is up for grabs--- I make sure to get in my protein (2-3 shakes a day--30 gms each) and all my supplements and I really believe it has helpe me to get here as quickly as I have. I'm jut now rejoining the gym-- after a 6 month break due to a bad foot. I have lots of firming up to do-- and I'm waiting for a PS consultation with Dr O'toole for a TT. After TT I'll be set and rearing to go.!!!!
