I'm Doing great, had no big problems post-op. I've been feeling good and lighter on my feet. I'm not sure exactly how much I've lost according to the  Dr.s scale. but according to my scale I'm down about 17 lbs. My next Dr. visit is Nov.7th. As fo now I can run faster and longer on the treadmill. I still have 96lbs. to go till I get to my goal. So I'm  looking forward to my new thinner, thinner life just arround the corner.

Happy to be on the other side of this long awaited process. I'm 5 days post op and feeling fantastic. I went under at 10:30 am and they were waking me up at 1:00 and told me I was going to my room. I was pretty much out of it due to the antisteology. But by late evening on the day of surgery I was up and walking around. I don't remember to much in between. I was on  my way home by the 3rd day released from the Hospital before Breakfast. and Home by 10:30am. Felt good to be home. I did quite a bit of walking in hospital, as they said it would help with the feeling of being nausated all the time. I only had one dose of Morphine after surgery and was totally pain free since then. I'm on a full liquid diet and I go to see the Dr. on the 8th to have my staples taken out. Everything went great. I am so happy that it is all behind me now and I look forward to getting down to a normal size. Already my blood sugars are great and I am off the Metformin 500mg 3xday medicine. Praise the good Lord!! My blood pressures have all been running normal to so I'm truly Blessed. I lost 6 lbs since coming home frrom the hospital. Hard to keep my self away from the scale, as it feels wonderful to be on the downslide side. I will have to have all my rings get ring guards as they are getting to big for my fingers.

I'll check in soon with another report. Blessings & TY for all your thoughts and prayers during this process.

My DH was such a wonderful blessing to me. He stayed right by my side the whole time. I really got a great guy! He bought me beautiful Yellow roses and also a pair of earings. My honey!!!!

Hi Everyone I went for my pre-op on the 18th, And on the 22nd I got a phone call from my primiary doctor who says there was a problem with the CAT scan, I have to go for further testing, Guess they forund a abnormality with my heart. Well I am not moved. I cryed off and on thinking that this was going to make me wait on the surgery and have to have it postphoned, But I am just going to trust in the Lord to know that things will work out in his timing. I was able to get an appointment for a cardioligist tomarrow, so prayerfully all will work out and soon things will be moving forward as planned. By the way I am so ready for this surgery and looking forward to my New Birthday On Sept.30th.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers that all will work out.

TY friends, Nancy

Yeah, so I've been scheduled for my pre-op screening Sept. 18th I'm not quite sure what will be all about, I presume, blood tests and the such. Wll I'm down to 238.2 Hoping to be a t 220 by surgery date. I dont think I can lose 18 lbs in 30 days but I will give it my best shot. I know I have some days before my surgery where I'm put on liquids only so maybe that will bring me to that 220.  hehe I'll keep everyone posted.

Well I have 40 days and counting I am really anxiously awaiting my surgery date. I've talked to allot of people and some I havent told, quite frankly because I don't want to deal with their negitive assumptions. I have had enough from those that don't know me well enough to even give an opinion, but as it goes they only speak from their ignorance of the surgery and their own personell fears. After much research and the wonderful helps here I'm am at peace in my own heart. This web sit has so many helps it is truley amazing.

 I am getting closer and closer each and everyday. I ran into a lady yesterday who works nearby and I didn't even recognize her, I had to ask if she was the same person I knew a few years earlier, WOW! She had had a gastric bypass last year and has lost over 139 lbs. I was so happy for her she looked beautiful, white hair and all, all I can say is you go Mary...You look beautiful. Now I did not know she was having this done but when I saw her I had to share the fact that I was having surgery next month and thats when she told me she had it done last year. OMG What an incentive. I am so happy I have gotten my approval from the insurance company, I'm set on the calendar all is in motion. I can't express the JOY that fills my heart the closer I get to this reality and every time I see before and after pictures of others posted here on this site.

I know that my Lord has given me this as a second chance at my life. I guess only those who have been trapped in a body like mine for as long as I have could really understand all the pain I have felt because of it!

One more pound and I will have lost 50 lbs.since August of 2006 it really took along time. My goal is to loose another 15-20 lbs. before my surgery, I really don't know how I could pull that one off but it is my goal. So I'll give it all I got.

My darling Husband is so-so-sooooo supportive. He knows how much this means to me, and our future.

I pray that all our friend's, loved one's and aquaintances, will find it in their hearts to do their own research and see for themselves and keep all their negitive thoughts to themselves and just pray for God's blessings and favor to continue over our lives.

Okay I realize my latest pictures are from last year, maybe I can get some newer ones up on here soon.

To all my friends who I plan on sending to this web site today, TY in advance for your prayers and your understanding compassionate hearts

Nancy
