I went for my 9 month post op visit yesterday.....everything checks out fine I've lost 102 lbs, blood levels are good. No nausea,vomitting or issues with the pouch. I am feeling fantastic, loads of energy, loving the new me!! and the new lifestyle of daily gym visits, not being a slave to the food around me. It's nice to finally have some normal habits like I have always seen healthier people have.

I want to make my goal by Oct 6th (my 45th birthday)....but with the stall I've been in since April not sure I'll make it. But I am dang sure gonna give it a go. I have finally started moving down again, lost inches...but the weight wasnt moving. I changed up my exercise routine and eating a little different and now it's going down again!

My family has been so supportive, friends have "donated" clothing and I am happier than I have been in years!

I sincerely hope those who are just starting out or just had surgery hang in there!! It is well worth the little pain for this journey! It's amazing! I wish you all as easy of a time as I have had so far!

Great job

I'm 9 months out and down 100 lbs since surgery and 138 since start of journey
