I'm nearly 5 years out now from my surgery & still feel great. I'm down to 162 lbs, which is a little higher than I want. My goal weight is 145 lbs, but my surgeon thinks it should be 125.I had gotten down to 129 & maintained that for 3 years, but this year I've succumbed to snacking & put back on some weight. I've re-joined the gym & am re-visiting my dietary guildlines & trying to be a good girl. We'll see...

I'm just a little over four months post-op.I'm down 106lbs & my BMI is 28.8, which although still puts me in the "overweight"category means I'm no longer considered "obese".I feel great,& am eating a nearly normal diet with the exceptions of fat & sugar. I have been able to give up ALL my medications for hypertension & GERD & my joints feel fine.This surgery has been such a blessing to me.

Home from surgery & 1 week post-op. I feel great, a little sore, but nothing too painful.

Finally have a surgery date 08/21/03, now just to lose that pesky 10lbs beforehand!! Excited & a little scared thank you all for your support!!!
02/13/03- recieved approval letter from Kaiser. It seems they will be sending me down to the San Diego Pacific Bariatric for the surgery. I am now waiting for the information package for the surgeon consult. I am relieved-but now suddenly very nervous about this.
