Here’s the last video from the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence “now” photo shoot with April working out at the gym. We couldn’t be happier about the continued success of our weight loss surgery patients. It’s still a journey, but, as you can see, they’re certainly all well on their way to healthier, more active lives.

I have had the surgery on March 4th 2011, It has been 8 months now and I fell great, I have lost 133 lbs so far and have about 25 more to go to get to my goal. Hope to make it by Christmas. Please let me know if I can do any thing that will help me get this done. to day is Thanksgiving and I done very well at the family dinner, seen a lot of family that had not seen me since my surgery and they could not belive their eyes, some of them had to take a second look that felt very good. also I was the littleiest one their of the first time in my life. I hope that every one has had a good day as well.
What works for me is drinking a lot of water, and working out. I enjoy feeling like I’m apart of the healthy crowd of people who simply read a lot about weight loss. Burning more than you take in. Making sure I watch my carb intake. Getting my fiber in (really helps). I watch Dr. Oz for advise on cooking healthy.
I hope this helped.
I would love to know your favorite exercise??? Mine is swimming.
Thanks for sharing your success.
