July update!
Jul 09, 2009
Well one more pound and I will have lost 90 lbs! WOOHOO!!! I can hardly believe it! I am so very thankful I had this surgery. I truly believe it saved my life! I feel so good about myself now and my confidence is much improved. I still have a hard time with the mirror, I still see what I have always seen, but once in a while now I can see big changes. I guess it just depends on the day! My hair is falling out quite a bit now and I decided to get it all cut off so it wasn't as noticeable. I know it will still fall out for a while, but with it being short now, the pieces are littler and don't come out as much. Plus the cut I got kinda gives the illusion that it is still as thick as ever! I did have one episode where I got a piece of meat stuck and that was a bad deal. The rest of the food just laid on top of it and made a ball and it was pretty painful. It's really hard for me to throw up now since my stomach is smaller. It took me about 2 1/2 hours to actually get it to move so I could throw up. My finace wanted me to go the the ER, but I wouldn't do it. I knew it was coming up, just couldn't do it on command! LOL Anyway, I don't plan on doing that again as it was NOT fun! All in all, I am very pleased with my results and I saw Dr. O'Brien on the 29th of June and he was pleased as well. I don't go to see him again until the end of the year. I plan to get my legs fixed (veins) in September and I am looking forward to that as I do get pain in my legs alot. I am going to be a totally different person when it's all said and done and that will be fine with me!
