Well its July 15, 2003 I now weigh 211# Last Year in July I weighed 287#. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital cause they thought I was having a heart attack. Now I am doing fine and I saw my Cardiologist for a 1 year checkup and he is weaning me off my heart medications. I have lost 76# since last year and 50# since surgery April 22, 2004. I feel great and can walk and move with no problems. My breathing is better and I don't get so tired. I would do this all over in a heartbeat. Thank you Dr. Swain and staff at Mayo Clinic.
Congrats Martina, that is so Awesome. Will you be at the support group meeting this weekend? They are having post-ops bring in old clothes for we can all see the difference.
Congratulations on the weight loss! In the next meeting we are having a "style" show of sorts. Please bring a "before" picture and before clothing so we can see the difference. Should be a fun night to see the big difference in clothing. Jan
