Hey there!
Looks like we are exactly a year apart on our surgeries.  It sure has been tougher than I ever expected!

Hey there Meridian

You are correct it is tough, this is why I often laugh when I hear someone refer to this as the "easy way out".  They simply have no idea, it is one heck of a journey, but what a life changing event it is.  I really don't think I would change my decision in the slightest.  I had the RNY in September 2010 and haven't stopped.  I reached my goal rather quick and this scares me, but I am now about 10 lbs below goal and ran my first 1/2 maraton on May 1, 2011.  

I hope everything is working out for you, keep your head up and focused!!

Take care,

I am in the Jackson area and "survived" the RNY on 7 September 10.  What a life changing journey it has been and remains.

Hey there.  You have done great!  I actually live in Lake which is half way between Meridian and Jackson...out in the sticks!  This is DEFINITELY not the easy way out.  It has been alot tougher than I ever imagined.  I never thought I would actually look forward to solid food so much.  It's a complete alteration of life! COMPLETE.  I've had my food "funeral" and cried...it's been way more emotional than I ever expected!  But 29 lbs and I'm super excited.

I know where Lake is, I visit travel a great deal in the Meridian and surrounding area.  As for our journey it is amazing and very tough.  As you said, it changes our life and I hope it is forever.  I don't ever want to get back to where I was, I worry almost everyday about gaining the weight back.   You should be excited and we can't ever forget where we came from.   Congratulations on being a "Loser" and forever losing the 29lbs.  Great talking to you and keep in touch

Hey...
I had my surgery on April 25th.  I did have it at CMMC.  Dr. Cummins is my doctor.  When did you have your surgery?  Who did you use?  How are you doing?
