Hello All,
Just wanted to let you all know that I have crossed the 5 year milestone!
Many thanks to everyone for their support and advice. Now aged 37 and back at work full time with two children aged 3 & 6 and a very supportive wife, I see myself as a very lucky man.
Still have the challenge of weight loss, but confident that will resolve with time.
Love to all.
Jay
Congratulations!!!
I passed my 5 year milestone a few months ago.
It is a great feeling.
You were certainly very young when you were diagnosed so it is great that you are back to some kind of normality with both your family and working life.
I wish you well. Keep eating little and often.

Well done..
Always feels good to pass that milestone.
How you feel and what you can do is more important than weight loss.
I'm nearly 18 yrs into this now and quality of life is what matters most.
Best wishes for the next 5yrs.
Sally
Congratulations wonderful to hear such positive news! Your young family must be thrilled that all is going so well.
Mny congratulations and every happiness to you and your family.
Tremendous news.Congratulations
Well done to both! Its 3 years today since my op & just starting to feel it was all worth while. My weight is pretty near back to pre op & might soon have to cut back! Good luck to all who have gone through and going through this "challenging" problem!
Congratulations! Me too! I was first diagnosed in February 2007 and had my operation in June that year. I was 54 and at the time I thought I would be lucky to see 55. I'm now 59 and have lived to see the arrival of two grandchildren, for which I am eternally grateful. I've given up worrying about my weight. I'm 24lbs lighter than before the operation, but I'm fit and well and that's all that matters. Good luck for the future.

But somehow that 5 year mark has a different feeling!!!
My 5 years is next month, want to get on the roof and shout "Still here, beat the bad odds" ha

What a milestone - how pleased you must be and how pleased we all are for you. It gives such hope to those of us still going through the process and fearful for the future.

Well done Jay! It is a great milestone, and definitely worth celebrating to counteract all the other stuff that occurs after this illness. Keep well, and thanks for all your help.
