Finally to the Graduate level

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I've been out here lurking for a few weeks, just

waiting for today so that I could post.

I had LAP RNY on 7/30/02 with Dr. DelaTorre in Wentzville, MO. I

weighed in at 285 with a BMI of 54.9 (or something like that). I

went to my PCP this morning and have lost a total of 97 pounds, which

puts me at 188. My goal weight (for myself) is between 125-130, so I

still have a ways to go, but all is going well. I haven't had just a

whole lot of the problems that so many of us WLSrs experience. I

guess I've just been very very fortunate.

My biggest supporter has been my husband. He came out of the bedroom

yesterday morning and said " I like that outfit. I never recognize

any of your clothes anymore " . But, when you're going in and out of

clothes sizes every 6-7 weeks, it's like you have a new wardrobe all

the time.

I'm smaller now than I was when we were married, so from this point

on, I'm a " new " woman to my hubby.

Sorry for being so wordy!

Take care!

Janice in Mo.
