Good to have you here to share your thoughts. It would be better, however,

if you signed your post. For now, I'll assume your name is Cindy. You sound

great keeping on posting.

Hello everyone. Many of you I already know thru your comments on

obesityhelp.com or we have E-mailed in the past. I've been a lurker

for several months now and glad to finally be able to contribute now

that I am official over a year post-op. Just a few quick facts: Lap

RNY on 2/8/02. Went from 249 to 151, size 22/24 to size 10/12.

Still losing a pound or two a month and almost at my goal of 145,

which is when I'd like to have a TT and breast lift to take me to 140

where I'd love to learn to maintain for life. I read with interest

the struggles of long term post-ops and have a healthy fear of being

one of the strugglers, after all, when have I EVER kept it off?

Anyways, I'm extremely happy to be where I am at today-no food

problems, can eat just about anything, and labs are fine.
