I really cannot believe that one year ago today I had lap RNY. I have met so many goals. 1) off diabetes meds in the first week 2) off cholesterol meds 3) exercise 5 out of 7 days 4) wear a size 10 pant, small shirt--down from a 22/24--2X 5) sat comfortably in an airline seat with legs tucked under me! 6) I can shop in nearly any "normal" store 7) I AM HEALTHY 8) and hmmm... what was the other thing?.. OH YEAH, I lost 96 lbs!!! I have learned so much from those who have gone before me. I so enjoy reaching out and sharing my journey. Y'all are the best. Thank you!

Jen that is fantastic!!! I am so proud of you! It certainly makes a difference to get that weight off. I wonder if the surgeons who perform this surgery truly understand the brand new life that it gives us....... Congratulations on your surgiversary... Jackie

Hi, Jen: HAPPY SURGIVERSARY! It is very cool seeing all you have accomplished in that time...amazing stuff. While the surgery can be life saving, what makes the difference is the commitment we make to using it as a "tool" and changing our lives with it's help -- and you certainly have done that! Hats off to you! :)
