Hi,

My name is Pam and I live in Michigan, not toooooo far from Illinois. I had RNY surgery on July 1, 2005. My weight was 336lbs. and I now weigh 190lbs. I am hoping to drop another 10-15lbs. and then have my tummy tuck. That big "apron" of lose skin is getting pretty heavy to carry around!

I am active on several Boards and enjoy meeting and sharing information and experiences with lots of people who have been thru some of the same things and issues that I have had.

Hope to talk with you all again soon.

Grace & Peace,
Pam

Hi and Welcome to the best board there is Pam!!

I'm Monica and I live in the far western burbs of Chicago with my hubby, 3 sons, 2 dogs and 3 rats! I go to Kalamazoo MI almost every single year in June for their huge UKC Premier dog show...my 12 yr old shows our White Shepherd there.

I had my surgery on March 24th of last year and then again on April 9th, cuz I just loved it so much!

no actually I had complications and needed a second, Open, surgery to fix them. I am doing fantastic now with the weight loss and will hopefully reach my goal this year!

Congrats on your weight loss and please post as often as you like!!

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
