Have fun and enjoy the trip! in NW Ohio MGB 2/22/2000 325-211 114 pounds in 9 months Message: 10 Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 14:33:25 -0800 (PST) Subject: 1 month report HELLLOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!! I just wanted to update all of you on my progress!! I just left the hospital laundry scale room and am please to report.....I have lost 25 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! 25 pounds have melted away and are NEVER coming back!!!!!!!!! Thank God I had this surgery!!!!!!!! If anyone would like for me to be a contact please e-mail me privately and I would be glad to help in any way. I am living proof along with the over 1,000 others that Dr. Rultedge saved. This surgery saved my life!!!!!!!!!! I have not measured my body yet, but I know I am melting because I can fit into chairs WITH ARMS ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If any of you have doubts about this surgery please contact me. I can help. I would have never beleived that I would have the energy that I have now. When I started the process of looking into having this surgery I could barely walk 5 feet. My back would start to hurt and I would have to sit down. After surgery I am walking a mile. YES, I said a MILE!!!!!!!!!!! I do have to stop and rest, as a matter of fact the stops are getting less too. The first time I walked a mile I had to stop 5 times. The last time I walked a mile I only stopped 2 times!!!!! I cannot beleive I am walking a mile. I used to not go anywhere unless they had the mart carts for me to ride in, now I pass right by them and don't even think twice about it. I also went to the MALL!!!!!!! I don't go to the mall because they do not have the mart carts, well I do now I can walk the entire upstairs and downstairs!!!!!!!!!! WHHHHOOOPPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I feel like a new person. And the intimacy between my husband and I has deepend even more. When we make love I can actually go the entire time instead of having to stop because I was hurting somewhere. My stomach muscles hurt me now because they have not been used in God knows how long. I tried on my formal gown for the christmas party this weekend and I am in a 22/24!!!!!!!!!! I have not been there since high school!!!!!!!! I was in a 32/34. I have gone down 3 dress sizes. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo happy. Alright I guess I have rambled on enough. I will post my measurements tommorow!!!!!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2000 Report Share Posted December 9, 2000 Wow, Great stats, !! Have you reached your goal or are you going down further? I ask because I weigh over 300 lbs and I'm anxious to know if going down to 145 is a real option. Trudy 1 month report HELLLOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!
