Congratulations, Shirl! I can't believe it has already been a year.

I was a contact for you. It's wonderful to see how successful you

have been. I agree that it has truly changed my whole life. I have

noticed that when I walk now I hold my head high with my back

straight instead of hunched over trying to hide from the world.

Pretty amazing!

Hi all--

Well, its been one year and I'm still alive. Had a few problems but managed

to get through them.

Haven't lost as much as some, buy have lost 91 lbs. Haven't been exercising

like I should. My back still acts up.

We do have 2 new Curves here in the area now and that is what I want--30 min

and out.

I have been very satisfied with the results.

Congratulations Tom!!! I hope we get to see you soon. I have now lost

125#s and weigh 145! Can't believe it. My anniversary is coming up March

1...one year out.

I have been treated twice for h. pylori. But otherwise no problems. I

feel better than I can ever remember.

ONE year update

Hi all,

Well, one year ago tonight I was as nervous as a long tail cat in a room

full

of rocking chairs. I was hours away from having MY dance with Dr

Rutledge,

February 6, 2002, at 10:15am. I was a miserable 373 lb and ready for a

new

beginning.

One year later, I weigh 218 lb, a loss of 155 lb, and am no longer

miserable.

I am off all medications, can walk miles without stopping to rest, can

go up

stairs without running out of breath, don't get stared at everywhere I

go,

(especially restaurants), don't think about the next meal, can sleep

like a

baby, buy clothes off the rack and not from catalogs, and have a new

outlook

on life.

For those who want to know if there have been any complications or

downside

to the surgery, sure, a few minor bumps along the way. H. Pylori about a

month after, but with the prev-pac prescribed by Dana, all was cleared

up in

a couple weeks. Reflex several times the first few weeks, but now it is

very

rare and usually follows eating too much or the wrong food and usually

eating

too late at night. I have never " dumped " and am very happy to say that.

The first 2 weeks was liquids, yogurts, mashed potato, etc. The next 3

weeks

was soft food and phase 3 almost anything I want, just in small amounts.

I do

not drink milk, liquor, carbonated beverages, coffee, but do have a cup

of

tea occasionally to treat myself. (I use " coffee tamer " which reduces

the

tannic acid in coffee and tea.) I do get dehydrated if I don't drink

Gatorade

regularly. I almost always have a bottle of the clear Gatorade within

reach

and sip on it all day long. If I forget, I get light headed or dizzy, a

sign

of dehydration.

It was about month 8 before I tried steak or roast beef. I can eat these

now

but must chew them well. I find a high protein breakfast (2 poached or

scrambled eggs) or oatmeal are favorites. Usually soup or salad for

lunch,

and whatever the wife cooks for supper. It is difficult to go more than

4

hours between meals and sometimes a small snack is necessary. I find

that I

can still eat sweets but just in small amounts. (As I sit and write

this, I

have been snacking on some butter cookies)

Well, in conclusion, I thank God every day that I was lead to Dr Rs web

site.

I would not change a thing that has happened. I have added years to my

life

because of the procedure that has been perfected by Dr Rutledge. I have

met

some incredible people, Dr Rs Staff, and enjoy the ability to assist

those

seeking what I have found.

Regards to all,

Tom Hickey......Cape Cod

You've really done well, Tom. You've added years to your life, and life to your

years. I, like you, thank God every day that I found Dr. Rutledge's web site.

It has been a blessing to so many.

Congratulations, and keep up the good work. Are you going to run in any

marathons soon?? I bet you could.

<< Hi everyone,

I am a little behind, but I celebrated my one year anniversary on Jan. 29,

2003. What a wonderful year it has been. I can not believe the difference

a year has made.

I went with a friend on the buddy system and we had the surgery. We drove

from Michigan with our husbands and actually I thought it was a great week.

Other than the minor discomfort from the surgery, we were able to find a

couple of great malls and all in all had a pretty good time.

I have lost 120 lbs. as of today. I am exercising 3-4 times a week and love

doing it. I have lost slower than my friend, but keeping it in perspective,

when have I ever been this successful (never). My original goal was to lose

100 pounds and I still feel that the rest is a bonus. I could stand to lose

at least 20 more pounds, but I honestly have never felt better and I am

greatful for what I have lost.

I went from a size 24 to a size 12 or 14. Medium to large tops, depending

on the brand. Christmas was so much fun because I have a husband and

daughter who love shopping and I think they had fun picking out normal

clothes.

I can't say enough about Dr. R and his staff. I am very thankful that I was

able to make this choice, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Patti,

Congratulations on your wonderfully successful year. You are an inspiration. I

surely don't consider 120 lbs of weight loss in 1 year " slow losing " . I only

pray I can do as well.

Thanks for sharing your story.

Today is my hips first birthday. I bought a cake to take to work and

had them write " Hip Hip Hurray " on it.

I guess this means my recovery is officially over. I believe at this

point my risk of dislocating drops to 3% and stays there. Not too

bad I guess.

Whats my life like now? Normal is the best way to describe it.

Nothing too exciting, just normal.

Today was a pretty typical day for me. Worked 5 hours, 4 of them on

my feet. Came home had a snack while watching Oprah. Then watered

my plants, cleaned the cat box, the bunny box, the duck water dishes,

plus their two wading pools. Hauled in two 50lb bags of feed.

Hauled out the trash. Checked the oil in my car. I carry a tylonal

tablet in my pocket most of the time. (for the other hip) some days

I use it, some I don't. I would prefer to be carrying Celebrex, but

can no longer get it. Today I did not need it. Did a few exorcises

this morning and will do more tonight. Didn't get in an official

walk, but did yesterday, and hopefully will tomorrow. Things are

pretty much like they were about 5 years ago, when I knew I had

arthritis, but it was not running my life. Still have my one year

check up to schedule, (plus x-rays) once I get approval. I expect

everything to be fine.

Now, to start weaning myself off this website. No offense. And I

probably won't disappear completely. It helped me so much. But it

gets harder and harder to even begin to catch up. I have too much

other stuff to do now. I need to get off my butt and back to it. I

got so hooked though, esp. on the stories of the people that had

surgery near my time that did not go well. I keep waiting it hear

that everything is ok for everyone now.

Well anyway, thats my story. Was it a major pain in the butt

(literaly) having a hip replacement at 50? Yeah it was, but am I

100% better than I was 365 days ago? Oh yeah! Can I do what I need

to do (which was my biggest fear before surgery)?? Yes, I can.

Good luck to all.

Today is my 9th week post op. Somethings are good- others not as good as

expected. Thanks for the post so that I can have hope for my 52 week

aniversary- that I can get back to " normal " . Mostly I feel good, but I

get tired and I hurt so easily. Just a little exercise has me pooped!

Off to PT. I am doing that three times a week and I feel better

(flexible) and worse (hurt and tired) after it!

Congrats on the great report .... loved hearing every detail of it.... excluding that you intend on weaning yourself from the site. You can still do and just in your spair time keep up~ if it's only a note here & there before turning in at night. It's good encouragement for those awaiting a replacement to hear the terrific turn outs in hopes of having one for themselves. :) Even with mine being as it is... I keep the hopes of having my own good news to report one day.... kinda gives hope to those whom aren't as lucky with it all~ but still look for a better day. :) Keep the good days rolling girl.... and the only thing I would recommend you do differently is luggin the 50lbs. of feed~ haul it then yell for another to move it. LOL Take care of yourself, wear a smile and have yourself a terrific day~ Well walking 2 ya.
