Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

What's been going on recently since I last blogged....
on May 21, 2008 10:36 pm

I had hernia surgery April 11th and am now doing very well. Saw Dr. Huse today and he says it's doing very well......it was my 6 week appt.

I weighed 146 and have a 34" waist....WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

My goal is 140, so I'm getting sooooooo close. It feels so good being this small again. I only got down to 158 when I had VBG surgery 11 yrs. ago. I'm wearing a size 10 jean and may be able to get into a size 8, since they are getting loose.

I'm not very good about blogging, as you can tell, but I just had to now, since I'm so close to my goal and am feeling so good about it.

I haven't taken anything for diabetes since the 2nd day after my surgery. My cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure is good too. No meds other than Lexapro and vitamins and calcium!!!! It's great!!!!!

I have not been too good at blogging or anything on my profile page. I usually forget about it.

I am off all meds, except the vitamins, etc. that'll I have to take forever.

When I saw Dr. Huse Mar. 26th he thought I may only have 10-15 lbs. to go. I was 159 then and I'm 151 today. YEAH!!!!!!!!

I did have hernia surgery April 11th. I see Dr. Huse this afternoon to see how that's coming along. I am so-o-o-o happy I had this surgery!!!

Well, I got my shower and I'm waiting for Dr. Huse to come in and tell me that I can go home.

At 1:00pm he came in and released me. Of course Kim (my sis-in-law) is coming with George (my hubby) because he worked last night (midnights) and hadn't had any sleep, so Kim is going to drive.

Finally......it's 5:30pm and they are here to take me home! Yes!!!

It was so fun getting dressed since I am so swollen, not to mention the pain from my incision!

At 6:00 tonight they took the port out.....I guess I'm doing okay! Now they're going to take me back to the Bariatric dept. It seems kind of weird since I'm probably going home tomorrow. The doctors were very pleased at how fast I was recovering. So am I. At least I know that I won't have to have dialysis like they thought I might.

I'm finally peeing and my blood pressure is going up! Yeah!!!
I'm looking like a beached whale......I weigh 29 lbs. more than I did when I came in for the surgery......not good!

At least the doctors and staff are happy!
