Topic: 1 year post op date coming up 8-17
wow well i cant believe its been a year already. I hit my goal about 2 months ago losing 197pounds in 10 months.I also had emergency gall bladder surgery 3 months ago. Glad its gone but cant say it was fun. I am tolerating food alot better since its out though. I can say i dont have many regrets about having this done. I love the new body . I will say i miss certain things (food) but its been worth the doing without. I would also like to thank everyone here at this site for helping me thru one of the hardest things i have ever done.. Keep your sprits high and ur head too .. thanks M

I notice that if I take my vitamins later than 6:00PM I have a hard time getting to sleep! I do have more energy now, so I don't really need as much sleep, but I don't usually have a hard time getting to sleep!
Topic: RE: Complications and more complications!!
Wow! That is what honestly comes to my mind first. Secondly, let me encourage you to not give up. There has got to be a doctor out there somewhere with some moxi who will have the courage to treat you.
I am sorry that you have not had a positive experience. I will keep you in my prayers.
Sincerely,

Gerri,
I know what you mean! I had surgery on 8/22/03 and weighed in at 304lbs!. I was also a 26/28 and now I am a 10/12. I am so blessed at how great I feel now. I thank GOd everyday for this opportunity.
Dream Big!!!

Topic: 11 mo post opp this weekend
Hi Gang,
I finally made it to 11 months. Seems like just yesterday I had surgery. I have lost 126 lbs with 27 more to go. I am at a stand still right now, hope it goes away soon and I see more results. Its hard to believe that this time last year I was wearing 26/28 and I now I am in a 14. This surgery was definitely worth all the risk and I advise anyone who is interested, go for it. It will change your life
Take care all
Gerri
