Update on Me...

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted on the NY board in a while. I do read it every day though. Been sticking with my August buddies on that board lately. Anyway, just wanted to say hello & let you know how I'm doing. I'm now 15 weeks post op. I feel great. Haven't had alot of problems. Did get sick alot through September when I was transitioning to solids. Finally got that under control & haven't had too many more incidents. So here's my stats.... 291 beginning of my journey 284 morning of surgery 8/15/05 225 today have gone from size 26/28 jeans to 20 & 3x + shirts to XL (16-18), I'm back into my size 8 shoe from 8 1/2 - 9 wide. Can "RUN"up my stairs without feeling my heart pounding in my head Can put on my socks without falling over (just to name a few) That's 59 lbs since surgery & 66 lbs since the beginning. Anyway, this website is so great........... Take care everyone & keep up the great work Tammy

You are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!! I go to my surgeon today and I am hoping she will give me a date. Are you excerising? Are you back to work? Good luck and keep up the great progress Karen

Hi Karen, Yes I do exercise, however, lately I've been a little lax on that end because I've been working 10-12 hrs a day. Trying to get the ot in for the holidays. I took 6 weeks off of work after my surgery. I could have went back earlier, but my employer pays 100% for disability so I figured why not take the time to adjust to my new life. I hope you get good news at your appointment. Keep us posted Tammy

FANTASTIC progress!! Keep up the good work!! Lisa 371/341/196/140
