Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Hi Everyone, The day I 've been waiting for for so long has arrived. I have lost 100 lbs.! My surgery was on August 3, 2000. I look and feel like a new person. My health has improved so much. I thank God & Dr. Rutledge every day for giving this opportunity to a new life. I used to get tired just doing my housework and couldn't walk for more than 10 minutes. I would be short of breath climbing just one flight of stairs. Getting out of a chair was a struggle & I was afraid to sit in a lawn chair. My blood pressure was very high, my feet & back hurt all the time, my cholestrol was high, and my sugar was starting to get high. Now, I have none of these problems. Today, I go for long walks with my husband & my dog, I went to an amusement park & had no problem fitting into the roller coaster seats, I ride my bike again, and go for rides on my husbands motorcycle, and I can sit in a lawn chair & not be afraid I might break it. Today I went shopping to buy a new dress for an upcoming wedding. I saw one I liked in a size 14, but didn't think it would fit. I decided to try it on anyway, & it did fit and it was on clearance sale for $15.00! Buying clothes in smaller sizes is a great feeling, but the best feeling of all is being healthy. I have had no problems at all from the MGB and have no regrets.
