Hi Dawn,
My 3rd re-birthday is Sunday August 10. I would do this again in a second.....no regrets whatsoever. I think fewer people post and respond because we finally get to see what "living" is actually like!! I am still amazed everyday when I find something new I can do......life is so awesome. Happy Anniversary to you.....glad to hear things are still going well.
Big hugs to a surgery sister!

I thnk you are right about just "living" now at 3 years out. I realized I haven't logged in since last December!! I just had my 3 year post-op appointment at the surgeon's office and everything went very well. I'm maintaining a 101 lb weight loss, I seem to fluctuate within 5 pounds but what woman doesnt? I'm the same exact weight I was a year ago, so I think that's a good thing...although I was hoping to have lost a little more.
My only problem seems to be that I've become anemic. My iron levels have been consistently low since my surgery. I'm taking an iron supplement now with Vitamin C in addition to my regular vitamins. I'm thinking ahead to the next couple years and having children with my husband and I don't want my low iron levels to cause any problems or complications.
I can eat pretty much anything I want, just not in the same quantities obviously. Ice cream and very sugary sweets still give me problems, but it keeps me on track.
Happy surgiversary everyone :)

Happy re-birthday Everyone in August 2005. I cannot believe 3 years has past. Dawn is so right no one really post very much but I do come back every now and then to see how my sisters in WLS are doing.
Bless us all. Yes, I would do it over again. My life has changed so much for the better. Not (and I say this all this time in my posts) that I was SO unhappy before, but now I really see how much my weight kept me from doing things and enjoying life.
I will ALWAYS have the "big girl" mentality. After 40 years that is hard to change but I would so do it again. WLS change my life for the better.
The only thing I miss is my boobs. My DH keeps claiming he is going to buy me some. I guess at 45 now I will be the perkiest pair in the nursing home.

That is me EVERYDAY.
Take care,
