New to Site
Hey Ladies and Gents
Its my first time on this site and i must say i have been missing out! There seems to be so much support and first hand experience here, i was reading some of the suggestions and i find them so useful. I had bypass on Dec 27, 2005 and since then i have lost 140 lbs. Just this week I got down to below 200 lbs and I cant remember a time when i was below 200 lbs, even in high school my lowest weight was 200lbs so of course I'm ecstatic. This is the best decision i've ever made. Although i had some swelling and had to stay in the hospital for eight miserable nights and the pain was intense including gas pains but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Because at the end of the day i'm not exhausted i can still muster up the energy to workout after a 8-10 hour day and before the surgery this just wasnt possible. My moods are even much better, I dont get depressed much anymore. I still have bad days and I dont exercise nearly as much as I should but everyday is another chance to start anew and I try to and celebrate every pound lost forever! I've definitely found a new support group, I usually cant make the support groups that my surgeon's office offers so this will be a nice substitute. :afro:
Why did you have the

Looking forward to seeing you around - congratulations on 140 pounds gone!
