O.k. so for those of you that don't know me...I just want to share ...that on May 25, 2004 I had my gastric bypass surgery....weighing in at 424 on the morning of my surgery.... I am now at 278, after 2 and 3/4 years out....I have had large volume liposuctions and just at the beginning of March had my bracioplasty and arm lift completed.... The milestone is this...for the first time in over 20 years...thats right 20 years, I went to my medical doctor and was able to get my blood pressure taken with a regukar suzed blood pressure cuff.....I just sat and cried...the doctor thought something was wrong ....depression or something...and I told him no way...and when I explained he hugged me....how cool...is that..... One step forward every day......little by little. Betty Myers St. Louis, MO
