I will have my one year anniversary on July 9th. I am feeling good, I have lost 110 lbs. from my highest weight of 263, and and 100 lbs. since surgery. My diabetes, high blood pressure, and pain from arthritic hips is GONE (okay, on rainy days I have little twinges in the hips, but that's all!). The only ill effect I have had is low iron, and I will be seeing a hematologist in the next week or so to see if I should start getting periodic iron injections. I thank God I found out about this surgery, and that things have gone so smoothly. Good luck to you all.

I had my surgery July 18th. Just curious as to how others are doing who had their surgery around the same time.
