Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 6 MONTH UPDATE It has been a while since I posted, but my thoughts and prayers are with everyone that has gone through the MGB. WHAT A BLESSING!!! I had my surgery on January 12, 2001 at a beginning weight of 324 lbs. Today is my 6 month anniversary and I have lost 101 lbs!!!!! In my lifetime of struggling to lose weight (literally a lifetime - since the age of 8) I have never lost over 25 lbs on any program. This first time that I have EVER felt like I was close to making a goal on weight loss. I feel better than I have in about 15 years, all of my blood work has come back perfect, I snore very little now (use to be able to peel wall paper!!!) I am a cooler nature now (use to keep A/C on about 68 now I keep it on 75). I have gone from size 28's to 18's and I am close to some 16's. I have begun dating and my social calendar has filled up (one of the reasons I don't post as much as I use to!) I feel like for years I was just existing through life and now I have begun living. I pray success for each of you as you continue through your journey!!! Pamela Mathisen MGB - 1/12/01 324/223/? (wherever I may land!)
