Well Gang on Sunday I will be 3 years post op. I have lost and rather easily maintained a 160 pound weight loss. I say easily because even though I exercised obsessivly for the first year I stopped at about 18 months and until last week never went back to exercising. I also NEVER gave up sugar. Please dont think I am bragging. I am just stating the facts. I started this journey at 360 pounds and a size tight 32 jean. Today I am 200 and in a size 12. Just so you know I am 5' 10" tall. I can not express how much better my life has been. I was very lucky, probably because I was still relatively young, that I did not have any medical issues pre-op. I simply was fat!!! I am so grateful for Dr. Roe's Abilities and for the support I get from the fabulous ladies in his office!!!! I have started exercising again because of 5 pounds that keeps coming & going. If I live the rest of my life this size I will be happy. Right now for some unknown reason I have the energy & drive to try and do somethings about it. I have no doubt that If I follow the rules I will lose those 5 and more. I also have no doubt that without this surgery I would currently be in a wheelchair. God Bless us all!!!
