One year surgiversary!!!

May 06, 2009

Yesterday, May 6, was my one year surgiversary!!!

I've lost 110 lbs. & gone from a size 22-24 to a size 12.
I don't have high blood pressure, sleep apnea, acid reflux, a hernia, lemme see, what else????

I had my blood work done last week and the results are all good!

The ObesityHelp website has been an enourmous help to me. In the weeks leading up to surgery and for weeks after, I was scrolling through the posts many times a day. What I read helped me prepare for the good things & the bad things. It helped me learn about what to expect and where things could go wrong.

I went to NeWeigh and the folks there were very warm & friendly and very helpful. Katherine, who leads the support group is a great therapist & teacher. All of the other post-ops have been helpful & supportive.

It is because of ObesityHelp.com  & NeWeigh that my blood work is in tip-top shape, because I learned how to take care of myself from everyone that participates. I have known of folks that do not visit this website pre/post surgery & I really wish they would do their research here to avoid problems. How can more knowledge be a bad thing????

Would I have gastric bypass again?

Yes! I only wish I could have done it sooner, but I don't really have any regrets about that either. It was the right time for me and it has changed my life in so many good ways.
