At my one year from surgery appointment I learned that I am finally in the overweight category with a BMI of 29! Hurrah!! That is great no longer am I considered Obese. Many of my closest people tell me I look good and should not lose any more weight. Even the NP stated that I am at a good weight. Although I think another 20 pounds wouldn't hurt. I have stayed at this weight, 185, now for about three months. My total weight loss is at 130 pounds. I went from a size 24 and now wearing a size 12.
The new me is doing things I haven't done for years like picking from the local fields for food, climbing rocks, running up flights of stairs, etc. I am so happy. It has not been an easy journey. I still have many things to work on, but I do not regret a thing.

Awesome! I'm 18 months post op, down 150 pounds to roughly what I weighed playing high school football (I'm now 56). While I think I could lose another 10-20 pounds, and I'm still "overweight" according to my BMI, I'm thrilled to be where I am. I never weighed less at my current height.2
