Another month gone, and new hardware installed!

Nov 11, 2009

Well, the weight loss is going great, I'm in between a 12 and a 14.  My hair seems to be falling out less and less, so that's good.  I've got some saggy skin, but hopefully things will still tighten up.
I went into the hospital last week, looked like a heart attack.  Good news is that my heart is beautiful, valves work, no crud in the arteries...but it won't beat correctly because of an electrical problem.
soo....long story short, I got a pacemaker installed, and I feel good!  I didn't realize how tired I've been the last few weeks, needing to sleep. 
That's one thing to remember- not EVERYTHING wrong is associated with WLS.  The first thought was I wasn't eating enough, or drinking enough...but it had nothing to do with it.
It was so nice to be a hospital patient where obesity wasn't my primary problem.  I fit on the tiny cardiac tables, didn't feel embarrassed by my fat. 
they still have a hell of a time getting blood or starting iv's,  but now I know it's not because of fat, it's because my veins are small, and they roll. 
it's those little things that mean a lot.
