2 years out from my revision, had RNY (had my stomach stapled in 1980)
I'm blessed with excellent healthy, exercise everyday and follow the rules most of the time.
No ones perfect all the time right? LOL

I'm off all meds and just take my vitamins and just keep exercising everyday. Enjoy playing with my grand kids in fact I jumped on the trampoline yesterday with them...what a hoot!
I'm down to size 6 and want to stay there. My goal was to get to a size 16 or 14 if I was lucky. Wow, was I surprised to get where I am today. I think my surgeon was too!!
We are having a bariatric reunion with our surgeon this Saturday and that should be a lot of fun. The nurses, social workers, OR nurses all come along with people who run a couple of support groups.

Hi Debbiejean,

Congratulations on your success! What fun it will be for all of your group to have a reunion. Can't imagine what those pictures will look like!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks Susan. I feel great and I love this over 50 forum. I'm going to push this forum on some of the people that go to my support groups. There is a much kinder atmosphere on this forum.

We are like family, and every now and then we have our spats, but all in all it's a wonderful place! I love my OFF sisters and brothers. Hope you will too!
