Amazing.  2 yrs ago, I was in the hospital recovering from RNY.  A year ago, I was at the weight I am now.  I did go down another few pounds but this seems to be where my body is happy.  the fact that I am wearing clothes I wore a year ago is amazing in itself.  I can't think of any time in my adult life that I haven't been going down or up, mostly up for a whole year. 

What a different life I have now.  This past weekend, I was camping with my pony.  I could walk from one end of the campground to the other.  Had energy to drive my pony twice a day, ride a friend's horse and load and unload my trailer by myself.  I do Zumba, Weights and swim laps.  My Drs are amazed.  I am off all meds except my prilosec.  No more Cpac, BP meds, cholesteral meds.  I'm 63 and am in better health than I have been in 20 years.  I had this surgery to get my life back, and it worked. 

Credit goes to my DH for his support and to your wonderful folks on this board.  Also to my surgeon and his group.  They had a great program and teach and support all the way, from first intro meeting to years out.  And to me!!!  I am a great rule follower and stuck with the program. 

Now, just hanging on for the rest of the ride.
