Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 Thanks for the update Tricia!!! Dave is my brother in law and I haven't heard from my sister all day. Val is a friend of mine glad to hear she is doing well. O.K. now for my update. I will be 8 months post op on the 20th of August. I started this adventure weighing 279. As of this morning I am down to 168. Things have really slowed down but I guess I couldn't ask for to much more. I have pretty much reached my goal weight since I am 5'11. I have gone from a 2x shirt to a size large shirt and my pants have gone from a 24 to a size 12 ladies or a size 13 juniors. Funny thing is I just bought some size 13 shorts and they are already starting to get big on me. My daughter started this adventure out weighing 350 and she was down to 238 as of this morning. She to will be 8 months post op on the 20th of August. My mother had her surgery done on the 26th of May and she is down 45 pounds. My sister had the open RNY on June 5th and she is down 50 pounds as of yesterday. Heres hoping Dave and Val do just as well as the rest of us. See Dave and Val didn't believe in weight loss surgery when I had it done. I was kinda like the guinea pig. They waited to see how well I diid or didn't do until they decided to go ahead with it. Good luck to all you pre ops out there and congrats to all the new post ops. Liz in Ct. 12-28-99 MGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 Oh, crud....I inadvertently forgot to mention ....from what I could gather from the MGB'ers at the hospital today, she is fine as well. Unfortunately that's all I know. Tricia from IL reporting from Durham MGB tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 Good grief!! Something ate my earlier post giving an update on the MGB'ers having surgery today!! I'll try it again.... Blair is doing well. We chatted a while, and she thinks the waiting before the surgery is the worst part. Also chatted with Susie and her parents. She is experiencing some nausea but is doing well. Talked to Dave's wife who reported that he came through fine and was in his room sleeping. (Debbie's daughter) was out of surgery, but still in recovery. Debbie and her husband hadn't been able to talk to Dr. Rutledge yet. I wasnt' able to find out about Dawn...I think she may have JUST gotten out of surgery.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Hi Liz in Conn., I met your sister Ruth and her husband Dave Tuesday night. I sat at the table with them at Cattlemans, and your friend Val and her husband. What wondeful people, we had such a good time!! I also met your mother at a clinic when she was having surgery. I guess I've met everyone but you!! I so happy to hear how well you're coming along, as I am 8+ months post-op too! Mine has slowed to zilch this past month. However, I'm not at goal yet and still have 20 more pounds I'd like to lose.Sure hope it continues, even if slowly. My husband talked to Dave quite a bit and they have been through some of the same experiences with their jobs. Please give everyone a big hug for me and let them know how greateful I am that the all went well with the surgery!! in Raleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
