Happy Surgiversary to Me!  

Sunday made a year since my gastric-bypass.  I had my one year follow up appointment today with Dr. Chapman.  He was very pleased with the results of the surgery and my weight loss.   I wanted to share the following with you along with before and after photos which are posted in my profile.   

Since Oct. 4, 2007  I’ve lost: 118 pounds BMI has gone from 47.5 to 26   Gone from a tight size 22 to a 10 petite  
In inches I’ve lost:
Neck 2.5”      Shoulders 7.5”       Chest 9.38”
Bust  11.75       Bicep  6.5”         Forearm 2.75”    Wrist  .88”
Midriff 14”     Waist  23”      Hips  22”     Thigh  9.75”
Calf  5”   and Ankle  1.75”   Total inches lost…… 116 3/4”  

I’m off all prescription meds for BP, depression & insomnia, AND I’ve avoided diabetes and having to take cholesterol meds.  All my cholesterol levels are well within normal range.  I’m only about 6 pounds away from having a normal BMI.  My body fat % is within normal range.  This surgery has truly been a miracle….   

Thanks for being there for me over the past year and supporting my journey to a much healthier me! 

Love and hugs to all! Alice
