August 2nd Surgery

I am so thankful for this surgery! I started out at 355 and am now at 289. I have a long way to go, but I feel soooooo much better. Already I can fit in chairs that were impossible for me before; I can walk faster and farther; and I just have a ton more energy! Yippee!!!! Have a truly blessed day! Polly

Hi Polly, Congratulations. I felt your excitement while reading this post so yeah while you have some way to go think from whence you came. Again, congratulations and all the best. Marcia

That is wonderful. You are really doing great. I know what you mean about being able to walk faster and move better. I am down from 330 to 272 and I certainly do feel alot better. Patty

Polly I'm right with you on starting weight and weight now but my surgery was 8/9 I know what you mean !! When I can stay well I do feel much better, I noticed my back doesn't hurt anymore !!! I can fit under the steering wheel better and bend over too !!! We do have longer to go than some but it has got to get better everyday right !!! Best to you Linda
