Randy

Hey Randy - Good to see you again. Congratulations on the new home and the 227 lbs. gone!!! That's truly inspirational - hope you'll post more often. Steve

Steve, Thanks , its wild to see that number 227lbs gone...im just a few lbs from loosing more that i weigh..LOL, guess i have lost half of me....but found so much more in other ways...What type of surgery did you have... Huggs Randy

I had Lap RNY at the end of September. I'm down 134 lbs. since May 30 (including what I had to lose pre-op to satisfy my surgeon) and it has already made a huge difference. I would be very happy at 220 so I have another 89 lbs. to go (started at 443). Steve

Glad you ar back posting Randy. 459 to 232 is quite an accomplishment, but I'm sure you're ready to get that last bit taken care of. Did you exercise a lot/work out during before now? I'm just curious. I'm still in the stage where it is falling off, but I'm trying to walk for at least 25 minutes 4 x per week right now. Welcome back! Ken

Ken, Honestly i haven't exercised as much as i should have...the weight has just melted away..atleast until recently..i can't wait until im able to get out and walk/ride my bike..im suppose to have a plastics consult in April...and surgery in June hopefully...i hope to be at 190 before plastics...people say thats to skinny...im like who cares...i would much rather be told im to skinny...than to fat..LOL..did you have open or lap RNY...mine was open..Best wishes and stay in touch.. Huggs Randy

Randy, Mine was lap. Ken

Wow! You have made remarkable progress Randy. I am so inspired by your commitment to your health. Congrats on the new partner and the new house. It's alot of work moving in, but it's great once you are settled. Glad to see you posting. Don't be a stranger. Rachelle

Congratulations on the weight loss, the new house, and the new partner! You look fabulous if I may say so! Shell
