Still Down after (well, don't know how long)
Jul 26, 2014
Yep, after this long, I don't count the months, days, and years anymore. I'd apologize, but I'm sorry that I don't really have to keep up with how long it's been since I've "looked like that" or that people forgot "that [I] used to look that way" or that there are people who "didn't know [me] when I was 'heavy'" (yeah, lol that's the word some use). Either way, it's such a distant topic, unless someone I know considers having the surgery themselves, I tend to forget to post on here or forget to take recent pictures for OH. My pics have gravitated more for FB instead. I'll try to change that later. I'm no longer married. Seems my ex felt in my obesity was a certain sense of security for him (he's wrong). I'm kidding, we had a lot worse issues than that, I won't bore you with after all these are HAPPY times, including me getting out from that oppression. I'm still diabetes free, and sleep apnea free but for some reason I get hypoxia at night. Health ten years later is meh? but I still prefer this than 300#. I think had I still been that heavy, I'd have all the comorbidities plus my health issues, life would be completely difficult if not impossible and I'd be another angel memoralized on OH (or maybe not so 'memoralized'), you get my point here. The surgery was so extremely painful, the abdominoplasty/panniculectomy afterwards even more so that I truly have no desire to do a revision, so I do all I can to not qualify for it. Being too small to do so puts the temptation out of my mind because at 167#, the decision isn't mine anyways :-). TTFN,
