One year

Today is my one year surgiversary! It's been a great year. I am down 166 lbs. and daily experience a WOW moment. My surgery experience was abnormal---no problems, no pain (except for that UPS box), all due to a great surgeon. My eating experience has been so normal, it's nearly boring---can't eat chicken (food from Hell) or bread, pouch is pleasant most days (wasn't pleased with the tuna salad for lunch today), and I try to avoid most refined carbs and sugar. Working on my exercise --- not my area of strength . Just bought a new round of clothes (have replaced the wardrobe three times now) in a size I have never ever been -18/20. It's a wonderful life! I think I heard a bell ring...was that Dr. Curry getting his wings????

Karen, Happy to hear your're doing so well, I've done just as well, totally uneventful, except for a self inflicted ulcer. Sometimes, I think the pouch can be self irritating! LOL I had Dr. Patterson at St. Vincent, I wish she was still there. Glad to here you're doing so well! I think all good bariatric surgeons have earned those wings! Doug

Karen Happy 1st surgiversary and congratulations on the 166 lbs .you have done A great job best of luck to you Michael
