My body seems to like the low 160s and I find it hard to get my weight down and stay there.  I have lost down into the 150s but it bounces back.  I have experienced some problems with eating and drinking the wrong things and I disappoint myself knowing that I am a stronger person than I am allowing myself to be.  Although I have not allowed myself to gain any more than I have I need to refocus.  I have the tools and know exactly what I need to do.  Lesson learned.......go to your support group.  You can talk about things that you might not otherwise talk about to your family or spouse.  Go to your support group!  That being said, I am committing myself to locate and attend regularly again so I can get back on track.  Eight years since my surgery!  I would never regret having that surgery and Dr Olsen!  I shiver to think about what my life would have been like if I had not taken the road to surgery.  Thank you everyone!

I am now 8 months past my surgery and I can't say enough good things about my life and the tremendous affect this surgery has had on my life. I went into the surgery knowing this was about my last resort as I had tried many other ways to lose weight and was not successful. I have had nothing but good experiences since my surgery. Dr. Olsen and his staff has been so wonderful, encouraging and very supportive. I walk away from each doctor visit re-energized. The support group members are so supportive that I look forward to each meeting. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you follow directions! I have dropped from a 52 BMI to 29 BMI in eight months. I have longed to be able to "move" my body. New ways to exercise have kept me going and not bored. Eating to be healthy is a new way of life for me. I have no regrets and look forward to my future with an enthusiasm that I have never felt before. I know that I have a good opportunity to meet my goal before my one year anniversary and my goal is within my reach. I will keep going!
