6 Years Out

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Can someone send me the name of the group (if it still exists) for older

post-ops? I will be 6 years out in July and haven't been reading posts for

a few years. My heaviest weight was 260 (I'm 5 feet 3.5 inches.) I can't

remember exactly what I was at surgery - @ 240 and lost down to 125 in about

9 months. I can't believe I've forgotten that! I rebounded to 135 and stayed

there for several years. Over the last couple of years, I've crept up

another 15-20 pounds. My eating habits are not the best so I've got to get

back on the wagon. I really have no problems as a result of the MGB. I'm

lactose intolerant but that's no big deal and my blood levels are always

good (iron is sometimes borderline).

The MGB was the best thing I could have ever done for myself and for my

three kids. I started law school almost immediately after surgery and those

two things have changed my life considerably. I have my own firm here in

Orlando now. I divorced, as many of us do after the MGB (which was a good

thing in my case) and I'm engaged to be married in July to a wonderful,

brilliant, sexy man.

So, can someone direct me to the longer-term group? I will try to keep up

with this group too.

Thanks!
