I've had a crazy year. August 1, 2012 I was getting my band removed with revision to RNY but woke up with no RNY. Then had 6 months to wait til my RNY. As of today I'm 7 months post-op, 57 pounds down, 44 pounds to a healthy weight. It's been one heck of a journey dealing with the highs and lows of not getting the surgery and being frustrated waiting...so, I just wanted to say thank you to all those who have replied when I've asked questions or responded when I whine. My friends, family, and coworkers are awesome....but they just don't understand! You guys are my weight loss family,my friends, my cheerleaders. Thank you all so much for the support you've given me the last 13 months. We really are all rock stars for doing what we're doing!

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 199

Congrats on your amazing accomplishments. Obviously, you look and sound so much happier. You are just as much an inspiration and mentor to us rookies.

Keep up the good work!
