I CAN'T believe it has been 1 year already!!!
May 20, 2008
Weight: 190lbs / Lost: 112 / 50 to goYup, that is right, today is my 1 year Surgiversary ~ WOO HOO!!!!!
And what a great year it's been too!!!
105 pounds gone
80 inches gone
diabetes gone
high blood pressure gone
sleep apnea gone
But what I've gained is so much more important and that includes all of you great friends I have made here. I couldn't even imagine this wild ride without all of you being a part of it! OH has changed my life as much as my WLS has!!!
Has my year been all good and easy? NOT!!! As most of you know I suffered a few strokes in August and have some residual affects of that. But honestly, I think the WLS may have saved my life with the strokes or definitely made the outcome as good as it was. I feel very blessed to still be alive, walking, and talking!! It could have been much worse. I still have equalibrium issues, major short term memory issues, and depression, but am lucky to be alive!!! disclaimer for newbies, the strokes had NOTHING to do with my WLS!!! Hopefully it will be God's will for me to get SSDI for now until I am able to go back to work.
And then there are the alien bitches that are still ever present and make my life hell, on and off! (they are my hernias if you don't know that) Hopefully they will be repaired VERY SOON!!! I am camping in both my neurologists and my surgeons offices next week until I get a surgery date! Wish me luck! lol it's only been about 4 months of dealing with this crap, UGH!!!
Tonight I am going out to dinner to celebrate with my 2 surgery twins. Jolene became my best friend in our preop class and Tabitha we met in the hospital and we had fun walking the halls together. We haven't seen Tabitha since the day we left the hospital so it should be a blast!! I can't wait!
So, nobody is home to take my 1 year pictures so they will be up soon, but for now there is these...
this is preop 
this is nowTHANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING A PART OF THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!!!!! biggest hugs and much love, Becky
