kykim 13 Posted September 26, 2012 Had my one year follow up today. (Actual date will be 10/13/2012). Down 155 lbs. Off all medications other than a few Vitamins. I still find it amazing everyday that I now have the energy to work all day (Im an RN) then come home and push mow the yard, go to Zumba and still go out and do in the evenings. I was laying on the couch with my boyfriend the other night and he asked what I was doing. After thinking for a minute I realized I was playing with my rib. I have ribs!! Like real ones and a collar bone to match:) I have never been so happy that I did something in my life! This surgery saved my life! 12 xavtay2, ho11ieberry06, JerseyGirl68 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AStephenson 159 Posted September 26, 2012 Cute story...I can feel my ribs (if I press a little, LOL), but am looking forward to actually seeing my collar bones and not feel like I'm walking around like a linebacker or some beefcake who works out too much!

aggie92shell 78 Posted September 28, 2012 Congrats!! I have to laugh because it is my hip bones that amaze me along with my shoulders. I really have bones. After 150 lbs down it is amazing what you discover you have that you had forgot about. Keep up the good work. 1 ho11ieberry06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
