Plateau WT
Mar 01, 2007
Well gang it has been 6 yrs since my surgery and I feel great. I have been at a plateau weight since 2002 of between 185 to 190 lbs. Which is what I weighed when I was 18-21yrs. When I had my surgery I was weighing in at 300-310lbs, I have been able to keep this weight off and was able to cut the number of medications down from 20 to 7 pills daily. I still have to take vit., b/p, and anxiety meds. but I can live with them. I no longer have the sleep apnea!!!!!
One problem that I do have is absorption of iron, I now have Iron Deficenct Anemia. But again this is something that I can live with. I go every 6 months for blood work, and about every 2 to 3 yrs for Iron infusions. But, I can keep up with my children that are in their teens now!!!! Yes one is 18 and the other is 15 so you know that I have to keep going with them just to keep an eye on them!!!! LOL
