Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Welcome and congrats on the weight loss. That is hard to believe! 169 lbs in a year! You have done well with the weight thing but sorry you are having difficulty with your back. Just curious that you mentioned the commencement of the back problem conincidental to WLS, were you told there was a connection? Dan Slone Surgery 5/2/2000 1 year anniversary Hi everyone! Today is my one year anniversary. I had open RNY on 4/5/02. I've lost 169 lbs so far and have 23 left to go to achieve my goal of 150 lbs. This last year has been a very difficult one for me. I've been suffering with chronic back pain since I was 3 weeks post-op. After 5 months of testing and 2 more surgeries, I was finally diagnosed with muscle spasms and facet joint disease. It doesn't look like the pain will be going away any time soon. I'm glad that I can finally post here. I find the information to be invaluable.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 I just wanted to share with a group that would understand my excitement, sadness, humbleness, etc. that tomorrow is my one year anniversary since open RNY. I started at 277 and am now 141. It has been a long and winding road with many positive and well frustrating experiences. However, I would not change any of it. I have grown into a much stronger person. I see life through a very different lens and am so grateful that I have had this experience. I have shed many tears today over the incredible transformation that has occurred. I know that there will be many more obstacles and gifts that will occur. However, I just wanted to share that I am grateful to have a group of people to share with my excitement for what has occurred in the last year. n Colorado Springs Open RNY Oct 8, 2002 277/141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 n, How excited I am for you! Oct.12 will mark 5 months since my surgery. We were very close in our beginning sizes, (I was 274) and you are so near what my goal is for myself (134). As of today, I have lost 77.5 lbs. Unfortunately, the last four weeks have seen a loss of only 4 of those lbs. Did you expericence many plateaus like this? At the rate of the past few weeks I'll be nowhere near my goal by the time I reach my one year anniversary, but I'm SO thankful for the loss I've had. And I so glad you posted. You give me the encouragement I need. Please keep in touch. I am so happy for you. TJ lap rny/May 12, 2003 274/196.5/134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
