650 lbs lost!!
I posted this on the RNY board but wanted to also post on the MI board because so many of you have been so supportive to me over the past 3+ years I have been an OH member!! I remember when I went thru my own surgery and going through the approval process and the surgeries of all three of my kids. You were all there for me when I needed support and encouragement and were genuinley interested in how things were going for my kids. I wanted to post an update on my family....
I just wanted to share some pictures of my kids and I. I've been a member of OH for a long time now and had my surgery in March of 2009. I lost a total of 160 lbs. The following year, all three of my kids had RNY and collectively, we have lost over 650 lbs!!
To see my kids living life now and enjoying doing things they never did before just brings tears to my eyes. I see them participating in sports, hanging out with friends, doing things normal kids do, yet things they never did because of their weight. During their high school years I could see the pain in their eyes as they were teased and called names because of their weight. I am so grateful for what this surgery has done for my family.
Recently we did a commercial for Hurley Bariatric Center which is where we all had our surgery. I just uploaded a few pictures onto my profile from the day we shot the commercial so you can see the before and after of the kids.
My daughter had her surgery May 10th and has lost 130 lbs, my sons both had surgery on Dec 13th and are down 185 lbs and175 lbs.
I tried to paste a picture in this post, but not sure if it will work, if not, you can see them on my profile.
For all of those going through the approval process, or recovering from surgery and wondering 'will i ever make it to goal' just know that it can be done!! My kids and I will forever be grateful for the chance to live a healthy life.

Thanks Lori!! I miss seeing you and the rest of the group at Pam's Bay City support group!! When I first got married a year ago, I was going to Midland every week for three nights, now my employer is letting me work from home most all of the time and I am only in Midland about 6 nights a month. It usually means I am in Chelsea the night you guys meet and that would be a 2 hour drive for me :-)
Thanks for the kind words and I hope things are going good with you!!
