Hi all I had my surgery september2012 My start wt 448 Surgery wt 419 1 st year anniversary wt 279 Current wt 242 226lbs gone fitting in 1x on top 2x on the bottom (from7-8xl) My goals pre op were to be able to chase my grandson- check Walk up stairs without holding the rail- half a check can do a few up and check for down unless I am really tired. Be able to walk a mile- check! Did it easily when I had to get my car out of the shop. Surprised me that I was able to do it( glad my neighbors weren't home to give me a ride) Go on a mission trip to Africa - not yet but I think I am going to go google that right now! Maybe this summer. I am working full time nights, able to wear skinny jeans comfortably, buy stuff at a thrift store easily, and swim for over an hour and then do physical therapy in the alpine pool for another ten min. I have a tiny waist and can feel the bones in my shoulders and hips. In fact when I sit on the potty it hurts a bit cuz my poor butt has lost a lot of it insulation. I tolerate most food but small portions are key. Half a sandwich, 1/4 -1/2 of a restaurant portion entree, and stay away from loads of sugars (under 9 grams at any one time) which means I don't deny myself a special treat but I only have a tiny piece or one small candy. The holidays meant a load of cooking but for me at least not a load of eating. Side benefit saving money on food big time. All in all this journey has been what I had envisioned and I see my end goals coming up fast. Under 200 lbs and being ABLE!

This is an awesome testimony. You are encouraging me. I want to lose more but I am at a plateau. How tall are you. I am 5'9 and would love to be 220 - 230. I have about 50 more to go. I have to get moving.

I had my surgery on July 2, 2012. My starting weight was 273. Today I weigh 126. What a journey! I had some minor complications (I had to have three dilations), but I would do this again tomorrow. I was a size 22 and today I am a size zero. That in itself is great but even better is the way I feel and the things I can do! I have gone horse back riding (something I wouldn't do before because I worried I would hurt the horse), gone down an alpine slide (something I couldn't do because I couldn't get up and down on my own) and now enjoy riding roller coasters (something I previously feared)! I love the new me!
