Today is my 1 year anniversary since surgery! It has been a wild ride! I am so glad I decided to get the surgery done. I used to get winded just walking up the stairs from my basement. Now I walk between 2-3 miles per night. Next on the agenda, possible skin removal next year and both knee replacements (holding out as long as I can). I have had continuous weight loss, however, I have stalled somewhat but still had small losses during those stalls. Keep on track and use this tool to its full advantages! I have been of Blood Pressure meds since surgery. I may not need my cpap any longer, but I haven't done another sleep study.

STATS:

I have lost a total of 227.2 pounds:

17.25 inches around my chest

32.5 inches around my belly button

27.25 inches around my waist

6.25 inches around my neck

4.5 inches on bicep

10 inches around my upper thigh

4.25 inches on my calf

HW: 469.8

PreOp: 450.6 (19.2 pounds lost)

SW: 430.8 (39 pounds lost)

CW: 242.6 (227.2 pounds lost)

I feel great! Walking 2-3 miles a day, more energy, more mobility! Although I still have a hard time in my that I am smaller! Just so used to doing things differently for such a long time that I am still adjusting! But overall, so happy I had the surgery! Would do it again, and only wish I would have done it sooner!
