update on what a year has done.
I saw Dr Hardy today for my 1 year follows since my VSG. My BMI is now 24.5. Which makes my weight NOW NORMAL... I still can't believe it and still can't believe I am no longer considered overweight BUT Normal weight. This is the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I have EVER been a normal weight so it is hard to get my head around this. I still Feel Fat, but so many people have told me I am so small now...I don't see it unless I put pictures side by side. OR when I try on a pair of jeans I used to wear...then I can't believe that I was ever a size 24..I am now in a size 10. I don't EVER remember wearing a size 10. Even as a kid in junior school I was at least a size 16. I feel so much better...way less aches and pains and no longer on a meds., off the high blood pressure pills, high cholesterol pills and no longer have to use my sleep apnea machine. What a difference . I am half the size as I was 5 years ago..highest weight 250, too fat for surgery, now 135 and 24.5 BMI. I will be forever great full for this surgery BUT also for all the GREAT friends I made on this website., ND AT THE MEET AND GREETS..THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE PAST YEAR. BARB C.

That's awesome! I only met you at one M&G way back in November and you looked small then. Yay for you!
