Just checking in!

Hi everyone! I have not ever posted here (I do post irregularly on the DS board and now the singles board) but thought an update might help others considering WLS and especially DS. I am almost 20 months post op and I have lost all my excess weight. I am actually underweight but working to build up muscle and develop core body strength to resolve the problem. I am 5'6" and weight 125lbs. I really should weigh closer to 135 and that is my goal. Go figure that I am now working to put on the weight - LOL! I am so glad that I had this surgery. I still need to have plastic surgery (lower body lift, breast lift/aug and arm lift) but all in all I am incredibly grateful that I found the OH website over 2 years ago and found my solution! Like any normal person I have to watch what I eat and take supplements and exercise regularly but it is a wonderful world and I will never ever take for granted that I have been given a gift of a lifetime. Thank you everyone again for all your posts that helped me make the decision and then supported me through the pre-op and then 12 month post-op/recovery phase. God bless you all, ResolvedVA
