100 lbs lost!
I just wanted to share my very own personal milestone that I reached this week! I'm 7 months out and down (officially!) 100 lbs. Wow what a trip! I'm so thankful every day for the wonderful gift of RNY that my surgeon has given me. Oh and I'm offically in the 'overweight' category of the BMI charts no longer 'obese' YEAH!
Only 40 lbs to go to reach goal and I'm hopeful i can reach it by 1 year postop. Even if I didn't lose another lb, I have re-gained my life and my health back. I had so many health issues preop (diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol) that are GONE now and my recent bloodwork at my 6 month checkup was perfect no deficiencies.

Congratulations on your loss, that's absolutely fantastic!! We need to see you at the meetings once in while!! Sharing our stories with the up and comers is so important, not just for them to hear from people who are living it but also for us as a reinforcing factor. Hopefully you can make it to Decembers meeting.
