Hayley's StatsLocation: TX, USA Surgery Date: Mar 5, 2007 Surgeon: Daryl A. Stewart, MD Highest Weight: 346 lbs Pre-op BMI: 48 Pre-op Weight: 346 lbs Goal Weight: 177 lbs (BMI of 24.9) Current BMI: 20.1 Current Weight: 144 lbs Hayley's MessageI started this journey weighing 346 lbs, wearing a size 24 pant, and 26/28 top. My goals were to get to a size 8 jean (I was determined to get there, even if it was only for a short visit) and to weigh 170 lbs by one year. I surpassed all of these goals!Progress Report: As I lost weight, I changed my goal weights. I wanted the following: I can sit anywhere I want w/out thinking twice about the seating (restaurants, theatres, roller-coasters, planes). I can double cross my legs. I can put my feet up in the theatre seat. I can shop at any store. I can pick an article of clothing off the rack and KNOW it will fit without having to try it on. I'm wearing skirts, shorts, and dresses (I never wore those as a MO person). I'm wearing sleeveless tops for the first time in my adult life. All the discoloration on my skin from being over weight has vanished. I can walk and walk and walk and not get out of breathe or cramp up. I have energy! I am no longer the biggest person in my family. I am the smallest/lightest person in my family now. I have had no complications or bad side effects. I do not suffer from any bathroom issues and I have no problem maintaining my weight. I lost my weight without ever going on a diet. The DS is a dream come true!
