6 years out today!

Hi guys,
I normally do not post much, but today I just had to!  Today, I am 6 years out and doing great!
It has been a battle at times and I have had some issues, but all in all, it has been worth it.
My start weight was 290 and I am now 135-140.
I do know that without me taking this step 6 years ago, my life would have been completely different.  I am a survivor!  I am no longer struggling to live. 

Good luck to you all!

Wow that is great  it is wonderful to hear that someone has done so good.

Fantastic! Gives me hope that I CAN stay on track and keep it off. Congratulations

good to hear from you. I am always wondering about those out in front of me. I am almost 5 years out. Have you had any trouble with your teeth? i just started to get fillings like crazy in my teeth....

Debbie-
I am 5 years out. No teeth problems at all. Actually, I haven't had a cavity in over 3 years. Just had a visit with the Dentist last month.  I do know some people that are out about the same amount of time that are having problems with teeth, I guess Im just lucky. My problem has been my vit. levels & its my own fault for not taking my supplements. Im back on track now - hopefully everything will be ok.

YES!!!!!   My teeth have been HORRIBLE!  I have had 2 broken and fillings!  I just have to be extra careful!

Congratulations Rebecca!!!!! You give me hope for the future!!! Happy 6yr anniversary!!!!

Happy Anniversary Rebecca. Thanks for posting, glad you are doing great!

Congratulations, Happy Anniversary and I could go on and on..........what an inspiration. I love WLS.

Congratulations. That's wonderful.  I don't know what kind of issues you had, but hope all is well now.  I am 3 years post-op and have lost 110 lbs.  I would like to lose a little more - I'm at about 150-155 now and feel great.  My body seems to want to stay here - and that's OK with me -- just don't want to gain. 

Sounds like you're holding a good weight  -- again, congrats.
