6 months Post-Op

I am 6 months and a day Post-Op and am down 62 pounds. I have a waist again and have gone from size 22W to 14 WP. My diabetic medication (Type II) has gone from 7 pills a day to 1 and my cholesterol level is the lowest it has been in 15 years. The doctor is happy with my progress and so am I. I'm 61 so I don't exercise as much as some of you younger people. I work full time and am again traveling. I now easily fit into the airline seat and no longer receive the "don't let the fat lady sit next to me" look. I have more confidence in myself and have gotten many compliments from people that I deal with in my work. I thank Dr. Trevidi for the fine work he did and the support he gives and I even have to thank my insurance company for paying the majority of the bill. I hope to get to my goal off 100 pounds off by 11/17/04!

Good job, you sound like you feel great, Its deffinatley worth it. My husband who was against it all the way is not complaining now with a 72 lb loss as I occasionaly turn a few heads. Keep up the confidence, you have a new exciting life ahead of you.
