Surprise !!!
I know its been awhile since I posted. I have honestly been busy as heck. But slowing the pace for a wee bit. Hagen's office called yesterday to say they had a cancelation. So tomorrow out comes that pesky gallbladder of mine. Thanks goodness it hurts like heck !!! Still no regrets. Love my RNY and my weight loss so far. I am a slow loser but I have said goodbye to 68 lbs since April 4th !!! That is something to be happy about for sure !!! A wee pic of me and my son.
