Greetings from a BPD Post Op in Portland

Hello everyone! I'm almost 1 year out from my lap BPD with Dr. Emma Patteson. I've lost 119 pounds and I feel great! I have another 100 or so to lose and while my loss has slowed, I'm extremely grateful for the success I've had to this point. I love to meet up with other WLS people in Portland.. I live almost in Gresham and am fairly ignorant about the westside, but I'm adventurous! I spent just over 1.5 years on my journey to WLS.. but the wait was worth it! Anyway I just wanted to say hello and wish you all well. ~Peace

Julie: Great to hear from you! What a wonderful success you have had. I know if you keep up with the exercise and using the tool you have been given, you will continue to lose. I am in west Beaverton. Do you go to a support group? I am waiting for surgery with Kaiser and they have a support group that meets once a month in N. Portland. It has been very helpful and encouraging to me. Keep us posted on your progress. Julia
