Had my one year follow up today. (Actual date will be 10/13/2012). Down 155 lbs. Off all medications other than a few vitamins. I still find it amazing everyday that I now have the energy to work all day (Im an RN) then come home and push mow the yard, go to Zumba and still go out and do in the evenings. I was laying on the couch with my boyfriend the other night and he asked what I was doing. After thinking for a minute I realized I was playing with my rib. I have ribs!! Like real ones and a collar bone to match:) I have never been so happy that I did something in my life! This surgery saved my life!

Thats great..always happy to hear successful stories

Cute story...I can feel my ribs (if I press a little, LOL), but am looking forward to actually seeing my collar bones and not feel like I'm walking around like a linebacker or some beefcake who works out too much! Congrats on your success!

So great to hear stories from folks a year plus out. Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats!! I have to laugh because it is my hip bones that amaze me along with my shoulders. I really have bones. After 150 lbs down it is amazing what you discover you have that you had forgot about. Keep up the good work.
