Hi I am new to Bariatric Pal.
I am a almost a year and a half out from my surgery which was on June 13, 2014. So far I have lost 120 pounds from my highest weight of 309lbs which was in December 2013.
My stats are:
HW 309lbs
SW. 272lbs
CW. 189lbs
GW. 209lbs
I am 5 ft 9inches tall.
I went from a tight size 48 pants to a loose size 32.
I went from XXL shirt to a loose M shirt.
At first I was stressed out because I thought I was loosing weight too slowly. Now I am happy that I did. I have very little sagging skin. I am almost toned. In this time I had a chance to really change my life style, eating and exercise habits. I took what I thought was a minus and changed it into a plus.
For those you who are worried because you think you might be loosing too slowly, well maybe you are.
Still remember these things take time and make a commitment to your goals. You will reach your goals if you give the process enough time.
I had my surgery at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. My surgeon was Dr. Rivas. The surgery costs were astronomical. Fortunately I had reached my out of pocket maximum for the year so the pretesting, surgery and post care cost me nothing. My insurance company is Covered California Anthem Blue Cross. Yes that's Obama care.
Thanks!
