What A Ride

Hi All Wanted to share some WOW moments with you. First, it has been 3.5 months since my surgery and I am down 76 pounds.  I have my follow up on Thursday and I am hoping to make it 80. Second, getting in my car one morning I noticed the seat seemed a little far away from the steering wheel.  I had to pull it forward a little. Third, buying jeans, I tried on a pair one size smaller than the jeans I had at home that had gotten to big.  One size smaller was also TOO BIG!  Went down to the next size and they were also TOO BIG!!!  After crying in the dressing room (tears of joy) I tried on the next size down, and they fit!!! I can't believe I am down 3 sizes....................... Fourth, ordering a senior portion for dinner and sending 1/2 back and having the waitress ask "is that all your going to eat?"  LOL This is, to quote so many of you, THE BEST GIFT I HAVE EVER GIVEN MYSELF!!!!

That is AWESOME!  I can't believe you are losing 20 lbs a month.  I'm still waiting for Dr. Pohl's office to send my paperwork to insurance.  I want to have this done so bad! How much more do you want to lose?  Leslie

Thanks Leslie, I know how tough it is waiting but, you will be on the losers bench before you know it.  I have a long way to go to reach my goal but, when I am about 30 pounds away I will start talking to plastic surgeons about removing all the excess skin.  That should be good for another 20 pounds.   Good luck!!!

wow!!!!  congrats soo much on your progress!!!  what type of surgery did you have?

Thank you, I have RNY and am very happy with my decision.

that's what I'm planning on as well.  It is good to hear that you are happy with the decision :)  I'm so glad for you!!!
