Update - 18 Months Post Op
Feb 09, 2011
Not even sure where to begin???? I have not been on here in ages, I have had so much going on in my life that at times it was overwhelming, Last March 2010 my father was dignosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. This was a total shock to me & my family but we stuck together & got through this the best we could. My father was a fighter until the very end. We had a great 6 months spending time together, camping, fishing with the grandkids, many great memories. In November 2010 I participated in the Purple Stride Pancreatic Cancer walk in support of my father. Due to his health he wasn't able to be there but after the walk I went to see him & the smile on his face I will always remember. He was very excited that I did this for him. A few weeks went by & his health took a turn for the worse. My sister flew out here so we could be by his side until the end. On November 24, 2010 God called my father to be with him. It has been hard emotionally but I have been doing the best I can to stay positive. I know in my heart he is no longer suffering & no longer in pain. It's hard knowing he's not just a phone call a way. I thought things couldn't get worse but my mother was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer & had her surgery the day after my fathers funeral. With all the new research for Breast Cancer my mother has a chance to beat this. With the help & support of my husband, children, family & friends I have been able to deal with all of this.I had mentioned in another post in June 2010 I had to go in for a fix on my band. It turns out my tubbing was leaking so that was why my weight loss was slow. Since the surgery I have lost more weight & my overall health is GREAT!! As of right now my total fill is at 3.5cc. Originally my first goal was to reach 175lbs & then I changed it to 170, well I currently weigh in at 177lbs. OMG!! I am so close to my goal!! I have started back at the gym & had my youngest join with me & with him always asking to go we are averaging 4-5 workouts a week. This is helping me get back in to my routine plus it is helping me take my mind off of everything I just went through. Well I hope you all are doing well!!
