One month ago today

Apr 17, 2014

At this time, 1 month ago, I was in the OR, already asleep for more than 2 hours, in the middle of my RNY. What a month it has been. I don't feel 100% yet, but I'm already feeling the love for my decision. I'm 20 pounds since surgery and 45 pounds down total since the beginning of the process. I'm also down from an Extremely Obese BMI to just plain old Obese, which sounds like a win to me for sure. 

I've felt nothing but support in my decision to have WLS and I'm so incredibly grateful for how "easy" my road has been so far. From so many great programs to choose from to my family's crazy support to breezing through insurance approval and more. I've only had one person respond with a WLS horror story when I told them of my decision and after discussing the real stats she came around. What a blessing this has been. I can't wait to continue the journey and see where I will take myself next!
