6 yrs out 4/17/08 - 4/17/14!!!
Last week flew by and my 6th yr surgiversary on the 17th. I'm still down 65 from the DS and a total of 85lbs. Still in size 9 jeans, sometimes 6/8 depending on the style. Mostly medium tops after my breast lift. Plastics was the icing on the cake. Where the DS made me look normal, the PS made me feel normal. I still have BM issues, but I can live with it.
My insulin dependent diabetes is gone, high blood pressure and cholesterol gone, only prescription meds are are for edema and potassium. I can't keep my potassium up w/o a prescription. Lots of vits and last blood work was great. I do have to take my A, D, & E in the middle of the night with a calcium dose so it's not around food. Kaiser has a problem with my D being between 110-140, but I'm down to 1-50k a day for my D.
Life is good, problems with milk, bread, onions and some other veggies. Good thing I love meat & cheese.
ETA: I've been on great ziplines, did a tandem jump at 13,000' and loved it. I can do anything now that I want and my weight doesn't hinder me.

Thanks Gina! It's been great. I'd do it all over again if I had too.

PS just finishes the job that we did with our DS. I feel so much better about myself. I don't regret my DS or my PS. Hope you had a great PS experience.
