October 2002
Calling all October anniversary people. I have responded to some of you guys who have posted messages and I would really like to hear from all you guys and girls who had surgery last October 2002. I had my surgery October 3, 2002 I was 245lbs pre-op and now weigh 126lbs post-op. I just feel that we all share a special comeradery and would just love to hear your stories and progress. Please let me hear from you. If you want you can e-mail me at [email protected]
Thanks Mary
WOW...you guys have all done phenomenal!!! I'm a real snail compared to the rest of ya!I had surgery 10/09/02, started @ 350 lbs & am currently @ 242 lbs, for a total weight loss of -108 lbs. Still have a long "weigh" to go till I reach goal. Would like to lose @ least another 60-70 lbs. I've been a slow loser from the very beginning. As long as I keep losing, even if it is slow, I'll be happy. May take me more like 18 mos-2 yrs post-op to reach my goal @ the rate I lose, but I'll get there eventually! Great job to all of you! Can't believe I'll be 1 year post-op already in about 2 1/2 weeks!!! How time flies! Take care, Jamie in FL =0)
I had my Open RNY in Fargo with Dr. Howell on October 4, 2002. I started around 260, I'm now 133. It's AMAZING what we can do, isn't it? Sometimes, doesn't it seem like it's a stranger looking back at ya in the mirror? I'm still having a hard time seeing that this really is me ... this person at a size 4 or 6 ... who used to be a 26/28 ... Really, now ... is that me? Are you sure? lol Anyway ... I'm proud of all of us for getting there and being healthy. Any questions I can help with, feel free. Peace @}-------Shanna
I had my surgery Oct 4th, 2002. My whole life has changed. I started at 276 the day of surgery (size 26), lost 10 prior and am down to 145. I wear sizes 6's and 8's and have never in my life worn these sizes. I feel wonderful and am in the best shape I've been in in years. I had my tummy tuck in July and love the results. I've met the man of my dreams and after 44 years am finally getting married!!!!!! My kids love him, and he loves me scars, saggy skin and all. Life is just beginning for me!!!!
I just absolutely Love reading all of the posts that people share on this site. 
And I truly enjoy the profiles -- at first I was afraid that I was the only one who felt the way many of us apparently do/did.
Anyway ... I am just past my one year surgical anniversary date. I had open RNY on 22 October 2002. My weight the day of surgery was 570 pounds, and I am currently at 279 (as of this morning). A total loss of 291 pouns thus far! I still feel as though I should/could lose an additional 40 pounds. And I am now healthy enough to "participate" in my weight loss via excercise.
I just sent my pics (before and after) to the site. I hope that they will be up in my profile soon.
I would say to all of us "keep it up", however I feel it would be more appropriate to say, "Keep it down everybody."
Smiles and health to all.
