Today is 1/31/01 nearly 2 years since my surgery. I have fought many plateaus and getting below 250# seemed impossible at times. I'm now done to 232# and have begun loosing about 8 pounds a month which I think is great considering the time span. I have gone from a size 58 jeans to a size 20 (almost an 18!) I have a life now! People ask me if I had to do it over again would I? In a heart beat! After years of sitting in a chair for most of the days I'm now helping paint my daughter brand new home. I didn't think I would ever see the days again that I could do anything like that again. I've now painted six rooms in 3 weeks (can only do it on weekends). I can't really put into words what this surgery has done for me. When I put on my daughters old jeans and thy fit me but not her, it's a great feeling! John Maguire literally saved my life! My heath problems have almost all gone away, no more asthma, no more high blood pressure, arthritis is not a major problem anymore. Although I still get the headaches from Pseudo Tumor Cerebrei, just being able to take care of my home makes life so much more bearable! My only drawback is I'm 120 miles away from Maguire's office ad makes it impossible most of the time for me to get to support group meetings. I wish I had one here to have friends that are going though the same things & could share more with.
