2 weeks shy of my 1 year surgery date, down 150 pounds!!!
Jul 13, 2009
I am a lucky one I have not had any problems(knock on wood) I have lost 150 pounds so far. I don't have tons on hanging skin , but, would love to have some removed and tightened. I am waiting word from my surgeon , apparently my pouch tried to regrow to my old stomach. I would no doubt about it do the same thing and have the surgery , I have told my friends they should check it out. My younger brother just saw a doctor and is starting classes soon.
I am able to do things again and feel and look so much healthier. All my medical problems have not went away. Ole arthur still hangs around. I was able to go to my daughters college and walk around and see where she will be living and going to school for the next 4 years. I will end this by saying thanks to everyone who had a part in the past year on OH who have helped me or just been a friend sitting quietly by watching the new me in progress. thanks for everything. your all angels in my eyes.
God bless
Wendy

WELL I AM DOWN 130 POUNDS ( OMG I HAVE LOST A WHOLE PERSON !!!) I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER TO GET HERE SO I CAN GET OUT AND SWIM AND TRY TO GET A LIL MORE EXCERSIZE IN. WITH MY OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS EXCERSIZING IS LIMITED FOR ME. BUT I CAN DO MORE THAN BEFORE I HAD MY SURGERY.
I GET COMPLIMENTS ALMOST EVERYDAY !!!!! AND I LOVE IT. SO YES I AM STARTING TO SEE A DIFFERENCE IN ME , I HAVE BEEN COMPARING PICS FROM BEFORE MY SURGERY (YES I USE TO HIDE BEHIND PEOPLE ) BUT NOW I TAKE PICS OF MYSELF !!
MY DAUGHTERS WON'T LET ME WHERE THEIR CLOTHES !!!! WHILE DOING LAUNDRY I THOUGHT WHY NOT, SO I TRIED ON MY YOUNGEST JEANS ( SIZE 16 ) AND WENT ANS SAID SO WHAT DO YA THINK ? MY DAUGHTER SAYS " TAKE EM OFF !! " I'M LIKE AIN'T YOU PROUD YOUR MOMMA CAN WEAR YOUR JEANS? SHE SAYS "TAKE EM OFF!!!" DANG. SO YES I HAVE BEEN YARDSALING AND THRIFT STORE SHOPPING , BUT THE BEST PLACE I FOUND TO SHOP AT WAS ONE OF MY FRIENDS. MAN WHEN I CALLED HER AND SAID I NEEDED CLOTHES, SHE BROUGHT ME OMG A HUGE BOX, AND SEVERAL PILES OF CLOTHES. SO YES NOW I AM TRYING TO GATHER ALL MY TO BIG, OMG YES I DID SAY TO BIG CLOTHES AND I AM GONNA HAVE A HUGE PLUS SIZE CLOTHING YARD SALE, AND THEN I'M GONNA BUY ME A NEW SWIM SUIT FOR THIS YEAR.
I HAVE NOTICED HOW A FEW PEOPLE DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO KNOW THEY HAD GASTRIC SURGERY, ME WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME IF I HAD SURGERY I SAY "YES JULY 28TH 2008 AND IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE !!!!!"
I FEEL LUCKY CAUSE KNOCK ON WOOD, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD. I STILL DON'T GET IT WHY SOME PEOPLE HAD TO HAVE DRAINS AND OTHERS DIDN'T BUT OH WELL.
I NOW AM BACK TO WEARING MY MAKE UP TO MAKE ME LOOK GOOD, I JUST COLORED MY HAIR TO GIVE ME A RED HIGH LIGHT LOOK, (I WON'T DO IT BY MYSELF AGAIN, DIDNT GET THE BACK EVEN LOL) I HAVE STARTED BUYING SHOES WITH HEELS , NOT THOSE SPIKE HEELS I FEEL SAFER IN THE CHUCK HEELS. I AM ABLE TO GET OUT AND DO MORE FOR MYSELF AND MY GIRLS. THAT WAS A BIG MILESTONE FOR ME , I DON'T HAVE TO DEPEND ON MY GIRLS TO DO EVERY THING, AND YES I DO SEE A DIFFERENCE WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP.
MY OLDEST GRADUATES THIS YEAR AND THEN SHE WILL BE WORKING ALL SUMMER AT CHURCH CAMP AS A COUNSLER AND THEN SHE WILL BE OFF TO COLLEGE ( 2 1/2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME) I HAVE BEEN THINKING OMG WHAT IF I GET LONELY OR MISS HER SO MUCH THAT I TURN BACK TO MY BUDDY FOOD!!!!!!! NO WAY DO I WANNA EVER BECOME DEPENT ON MY OLD BUDDY EVER AGAIN. WELL I GUESS I HAVE RAMBLED ON ENOUGH FOR NOW.
got my first B 12 shot today
