Kimberly Foley was seen by me in the office this week for her 1 year visit. She has had an amazing result! She has lost 97% of her excess weight. In fact she lost even more if you count her weight loss before her operation. She said she was willing to share her information with you.
5/21/09 Intake visit 384 lbs
11/9/09 Pre-op visit 356 lbs
11/18/10 1 yr Post-op 166 lbs
Her Body Mass Index dropped from 59 to 25.
Even more important, Kim shared a story that nearly brought tears to my eyes. Kim has a son Trevor who is 8 years old and a sister, Barbara, who is a funeral director.
One day Trevor said to Kim, “Mommy, I’m so proud of you for getting “thinny” so we don’t have to call Auntie Barb to get your funeral ready”.
Whew! What a heavy load this little one was carrying without anyone knowing it. You never know what kids are thinking.
How did Kim get such a great result? She said she had positive support from friends and family, she exercises 4 days a week and gave up elevators for lent!
Congratulations Kim!! I know It has been hard work. I also know it is worth it because we are worth it. Give that little boy a big hug and kiss. He is special.
ReplyDeleteMy dear lovely cousin Kim, you know how proud of you I am! It is such a joy and relief to see you so happy and healthy! Now you glow from your true inner beauty, not from the sweat that the extra weight caused. Your commitment to this journey is a true inspiration and I so proud of you for your willingness to share!
