Tell me about you please
Hi Mellie,
I had laparascopic RNY gastric bypass surgery on 11/7/08 with Dr. Anne Lidor at Johns Hopkins Bayview. In the 6 months since my surgery I have lost 92 lbs. My BMI has gone from 47 to 34. I weighed 306 lbs on the morning of my surgery. My personal goal at this point is to get to 170 lbs which leaves me with 44 more lbs to go.
I had surgery exactly 1 month before my 27th birthday and was taking 2 medications to control my high blood pressure, medication for depression, and medication to control my type II diabetes. Within 3 months of having the surgery I was off of the medications for the high blood pressure and diabetes and a month after that I started weaning off of the medication for depression. Deciding to have this surgery has been the best decision I've ever made.
I exercise 3-4 days per week.....cardio and strength training. I am passionate about cooking delicous food that is WLS-friendly. Welcome to the boards!!
