I'm sitting here typing this while wearing a swimsuit that I haven't worn in 5 years!!!! But.... there's more. I fit into ONE leg of my pj pants, ONE leg of my old jeans, I've JOINED A GYM, I can walk 4.9 km/hour and NOT get winded, 3-4 bites of tuna salad STILL fills me up lol, am running out of old clothes to wear, and I LOVE LIFE!!!!!!!

I have gone from a size 30 jeans to a size 20 (which is baggy on me). I have gone from a size 5X top to an XL top.

I feel great. My hubby says I look great too.

I am down 64 lbs from my surgery weight, and down 92 lbs from my highest weight!!!!

I am so thankful to my surgeon, Dr Nohr, for accepting me as his patient and giving me this wonderful life-saving tool! I am also thankful for all of you here on the Alberta board, for not only being friendly and helpful, but for being there to give support when needed. THANK YOU!!!!!

*hugs*

Congrats Lori,

You have acheived so much in such a short time. Thanks for sharing these milestones in your journey. It's very encouraging to hear. I so can't wait to be where you are now. I'm still waiting for the phone to ring with the lady on the other end saying she's calling with a surgery date. But I know eventually you'll be saving me a seat on the loser's bench.
