Would I do this all over again? Heck yeah, but I would have sought out someone that knows what longer term post-ops should expect and gone to more counseling. It's the mental par tthat eats me up!!

TORNADO AGAIN. BEWARE OF THE WITCHES!
I plan on spending my morning at a volleyball match that my daughters are playing in. Then in the afternoon we are going to the zoo and walk around all day. Hopefully that night my husband will take me out someplace special. I really enjoy going to the casino which is in Indiana. I love to get dressed up. We don't do this very often.
It is hard to believe it has been 3 years ago. I was so happy to get out all my fall and winter clothes and everything still fits.

TORNADO AGAIN. BEWARE OF THE WITCHES!
I still am on my meds like I was before the surgery but the doses are smaller. I had a physical in Sept, 2008 and all my blood work was normal and my cholesterol was 141 my doctor couldn't believe it because the yr before it was 150 and prior to that 177. I guess the surgery did help in that aspect.
If I had to do it all over again, having the surgery I would say yes but I should have had it a few yrs prior.
Happy 3rd to you.

We are both in the same boat with the wt issue. I have to get motivated again like I was after the surgery in the losing stages. I know I can do it. I notice if I eat something that i'm not supposed to either that same day or the next I get the runs sooooooo bad. I guess it's my own fault for eating it in the 1st place.
We gotta keep the faith and we will get through it.
Happy Surgiversary to you,
Lisa
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think I have found something in swimming. I go after work so I can get rid of my anxiety from work and know I can do it and not get hurt too much. My accident was from March 25,2008. I was involved in a train accident. I found out 4 months later that I have 2 herniated discs. They aren't too bad so I guess i'm lukcy in that aspect. Now that I got the oke to go back to the gym full-time, i'm very happy.
Hope you're doing well. See you on here soon.
