Positive story

I also have never felt sick or any of the other things I read reported. But I think there are more of us than is represented here. After all....no one comes on and reports about their uneventful recovery and progress!

So I'll join you on that positive train of yours!

Glad to have you on the train!  All aboard!!!

My recovery was smooth and uneventful, just the way I wanted it to be!

This is really good to hear, I keep waiting for something to go wrong, because I've seen so many issues out here.  I need to change that thinking and realize that most people just don't talk about their smooth recoverys!

Congratulations on all that you have accomplished.  I can not stress the importance of exercise.  I never did.  When you lose weight so fast, you can lose muscle.  I did, and now it is really hard to get into gear and into the gym.  Keep up the good work.

Two years this ago I weighed 248 pounds, wore size 22 jeans, wore a CPAP at night, couldn't get up and down off the floor anymore, avoided a camera like the plague, my knees and hips hurt all the time and I was finishing up radiation treatments for Stage 1 breast cancer.

Now I weigh between 145-147, wear size 10 jeans, no CPAP, can squat down and stand up w/o any help, don't avoid cameras, joint pain gone and I have been cancer-free for 2 years and feel GREAT!  (most of the time LOL).

I'm 17 month's out, and thus far, I've gone from a 28 and 3x to 14/16 and xl, AND from 355 to 232... Still trying to get down... my goal weight with my height and broad shoulders (6'2!!!!) is 200...my surgeon says I have 20 lbs of excess skin... so really, I'm pretty close to goal, it's just around the corner! I'm so much happier, and healthier.

Awesome!  How are you feeling after your trip to the hospital the other day?

My positive is I will be two years out in less than a week and I am healthy and normal! I love it when I go to the doc and they all say "your bloodwork is normal"! I almost cry everytime! 299 at my highest weight, 157 right now. Went from a size 24 to a size 6. Actually wore a size one at one point but I have about 10 lbs to drop to be back in a 4 which is where I've decided I look and feel the best. Most importantly I am HAPPY!
