RE: Newbie on drifting away

Hi Mendi & welcome!

We've talked about this occasionally on here, but I had to mention

that it's so strange that at 5'6 " and 170 pounds, you're wearing a

size 10/12. I'm also 5'6 " but 153 pounds, and I wear a 10/12. It's

that old body shape thing, I guess...LOL

Rny. From surgery, I'm down to 170 from 328 (I'm 5'6) - and was

surprised to lose three pounds last week :I . I thought I

was 'stable' until my hopeful and much anticipated panniculectomy

(awaiting insurance approval. awaiting insurance to acknowledge my

paperwork requesting the okay!). At any rate, I'm wearing a size

10/12 and astounded at the wonder of it all!

I really

believe that to some extent we all have to discover what works best

for each of us in becoming healthy long-term...

Mendi, You have hit the nail on the head! There is a saying on this list

YMMV (Your mileage may vary!!!) We are all different, we all have different

approaches to this " type " of surgery. (I say type...cause again...all our

surgeries are different...even with the SAME surgeons) Not everything that

works for one works for all. Viva la difference. (or how ever you spell it.

LOL)
