Question:
Let's start the "Century Club Page!"
Hi everyone! I'd like to suggest a new page for the website, The Century Club! It would contain a list of members who have lost 100 pounds or more after having any type of WLS. Anyone else think this is a good idea? There could be a link to their email, for people wanting to ask questions of us privately. Perhaps whomever moderates this question could send this request on to Eric for consideration. If you've lost a hundred pounds or more, please respond to this question, so pre-ops can see how many of us there are. Go Century Club! Jaye Carl, RN, open proximal RNY (divided) 7-29-99, 103 pounds gone forever! — Jaye C. (posted on April 24, 2000)

Jaye C: Excellent idea but of course I hit that big 100 pounds gone
forever mark this morning. Must have been all the exercise hiding those
Easter Eggs (over and over and over again) *Smile* got to love those
grandkids..

Jaye C. I haven't even had surgery yet (scheduled for open RNY May 9) but
I can tell you that when I do hit that -100 lbs. I would love to have a
special
page to shout about it. I think it's a great idea. It's also very
encouraging
for those of us who are pre-op and those post-ops who are on their way.

Jaye C. - Even though I am still just a "lonely" pre-op, I think
your idea is GREAT! There should be some event to look forward to
"after" surgery! I know that just changing my description from
"looking into surgery" to "Surgery date scheduled" was
a huge milestone for me! I can't wait to change it to "Post-op"!
One more thing to look forward to after WLS!

I think this is a great idea. I wish that this site was here
when I was going through everything. I had so many questions
at that time. My surgery was 8-1-97 and I lost 115 pounds and
they are still off. I would be glad to be a part of this
group and answer any questions be open to anyone who wants
to e-mail me. Great idea.

Yes! Sounds like a great idea!!!
I am down 89 lbs so I am preparing to be a member!

I'm still a pre-op, but I would love to have a Century Club to aim for when
I am post-op......if I have optimal results, I'll lose around 200 pounds so
I want somewhere to celebrate with people who know what it really means!

pounds! Yay!

I have lost 155 pounds with my VBG. I am 21 months post op.

This is a great idea. Especially the part about being able to e-mail our
questions. Some of the questions I have had are of a sensitive or sexual
nature and who better to answer than an "old pro". I would like
to be able to discuss all aspects of my life that are going to be changing.
I think The Century Club is also another great goal for me to attain.
GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!

The Century Club sounds great..I am a little over 7 months post op and have

I think it's amazing that the people who have responded to this question so
far have lost a total of 1594 pounds. That's incredible!

I think the Century Club is an excellant idea that would
benefit all involved. For pre-ops...how much more proof of
success could you ask for. For recently post-ops...the light
at the end of the tunnel. For those well on there way... a
look at thier final destinations. For those who have already
reached this wonderful milemarker...what a sense of accomp-
lishment it will be to be able to include thier name on this
list. Again, I think its a great idea...cant wait to hopefully
join this prestigious list someday!!!!!

I think this is a great idea. I am still preop. It is very motivating and
exciting to read about all of you who have lost soo much weight! It makes
you realize that that too can be you in about a year or so.....

Jaye,
Great idea for encouragement for everyone. I never thought I would do
it but here I am with 155 pounds gone forever. I am at my goal of 125 and
feeling great. Anyone who would like to, or needs to email me, please feel
free to do so...I had a BPD/DS june 1, 1999.

Hi my name is Janice and I had the VBG done on Jan 28/99. To date I am down
207 lbs and loving it. I feel so good. Live is so different. Congrads to
everyone who is in this club with the 100 lbs down and more
— Janice K.

Hi Jaye C,
I think your idea of a Century Club is fantastic! I believe that it will
give all the pre-ops hope! I know for me as a pre-op it was so uplifting
to see all the post ops who had lost 100 pounds. It also helped me to know
that this surgery does work when all else fails. I had my surgery in July
of 1999, I started out at 251 pounds and I am now down to 145 pounds. So,
in 9 months I have lost 106 pounds and feel so good. By the way, Congrats
to you on your weight loss...keep up the good work. Hugs...

I now have 107 reasons to join the Century Club (?'Century
Plus Club?'). Open RNY 9/23/99. Age 63. Feeling like a
Quarter of a Century now (except for recent breast cancer
diagnosis. But am sure in better shape for chemo & radiation
than I was 9 months ago. I'll beat that too!) And don't forget
to make a donation to Eric Klein for keeping us all going.
Love to all...Barbara Greenstein
