I have not been on this board for quite some time, but felt the desire to update as the holiday's approach again! What a wonderful journey this weight loss has been! I am now 2 years and 3 months post op, have lost 103lbs, and have been maintaining a goal weight of 142.
I am off all medication for high blood pressure, and no longer see a chiropractor for back pain! I now maintain a closet with only ONE size of clothes in it, and can shop in regular clothing stores instead of "plus size". Would I do it again? Yes, yes YES!

Best wishes to all of you who are on the journey, as well as those of you still contemplating it!

I am so excited I could scream - Dr. Valentine's office called to inform me Blue Cross/ Blue Shield has approved me for the RYGB! After all the waiting, I can hardly believe the "yes" answer came! I have my pre-op on the 5th, and my surgery is Sept. 11th. After the anticipation, the reality that I am really going to get to do this is kind of scary!
