Seven Year Re-Birthday
As the calendar tells me...it's my seven year re-birthday this weekend. Hard to believe.
I just wanted to post to let everyone out there know that it's been 7 years and I'm still going strong. Perhaps not as 'skinny' as I would like, but I'm still doing great at 155 lbs (my bottom was 124) from my start weight of 315.
No complaints, no problems. No more health issues, except the occasional need for B12 shots. How boring! Sorry!
I do still amaze myself every day. I still look in the mirror sometimes and think : Who Are you??
I went to a halloween party last week and wore..FISHNETS (and I can think of so many self depreciating jokes to place in there... but I digress.)
Life is good. Thank god I had gastric bypass. Thank god for Dr Aranow.
I encourage you all to hang in there and fight the good fight. If I can do it- you can too!

I hope the rest of your life is "boring" when it comes to after care of gastic bypass and WOOOHOO on the Fishnets!! 
Congratulations on such a wonderufl anniversary
I too thank god for each and every day and for going to Dr A for my surgery.
I've gained 26 pounds from my lowest over the past almost 6 years and I can not complain.
I had some big issues with low blood sugar but that was not due to the surgery. i'd had it before surgery. what cuased it was me stressing over the minor 23 pound gain and still seeing me as 300 pounds. i abused laxatives over a month daily and it set my whole system crazy. luckily i stopped and got myself to Dr A. I didnt feel i got the support I need there and continued on to a naturalist ND who has gottne me together with an endocrologist. along the way we've also found a thyroid issue.
Now over a year later I'm feeling great.
AND now that diet has the control on the LBS the meds for the thyroid have that working correclty and I'm starting to lose at a normal rate!!! So over the past 3 weeks I've ddropped 3 pounds.
I've always gone to the gym but now the old metobolish is doing what its suppose to.
Our bodies are a wonderful thing!
Good Luck god bless heres to another 7 wonderful years.
