Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hello, I have actually been lurking here for about 6 months, but I can now post. My one year anniversary was October 4th. Let me introduce myself, my name is Donna, I had Lap RNY with Dr. Dennis in Marietta, Georgia on October 4, 2001. I can honestly say wls has changed my life for the best. Before surgery I weighed 276, I now weigh 151, that is 125 pound loss! I wore size 26 (tight), now wear a size 8 pants and small/medium tops, my shoe size went from a 9 1/2 wide to a 8 1/2 regular! I have alread met doctor 's goal which was to loose 100 pounds. I did that in my first 6 months. By his calculations I have to date lost 91% of my excess weight. The actual goal for surgery is 70-75% to loose. I have two beautiful boys ages 12 and 2. I have been married to my wonderful supporting hubby for 13 years. All my family members have been totally supportive during this wls process. I couldn't be happier. I am still so amazed at the difference in my life now. I became morbidly obese after having my first son. Before that the biggest I ever got was about 200, that was after my very first pregnancy and miscarriage. I always maintained a weight of 145 pounds, which was a good size for me. Now I am at 151 and would love to be 140-145 if the scales will allow, if not I'm ok with that too! I have enjoyed reading everyone's post here and look forward to posting myself now. Hugs Donna preop: 276 size 26 postop: 151 size 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
