Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!  Enjoy the day!!!

Wow, I can't believe that it has been 1 year since I have had my GBP surgery.  Time really seemed to fly by.  I have lost a total of 121.5 lbs, as of this morning.  It is just amazing.  I feel fantastic and am so much happier. 

A year ago, I couldn't have imagined how I would feel today.  I could never Thank all my doctors, family, and new OH friends enough for all of the support and what they have done for me.  I still have a bit that I would like to lose and I know that I can do it.  I just have to remember the basics and not get cocky.  I do think that I need to see the nutrionist for another refresher course.

I can't believe how much happier I am and how much more confident that I am.  It is just crazy and amazing.

Well, just wanted to pop in for a bit and update my blog.  I haven't touched base with everyone in some time.

Enjoy the rest of the evening and the rest of the week.

Tomorrow I go back to see Dr. Wallace for my 9 month follow-up.  I can't believe that it has been 9 months since I had the surgery.  Wow, time sure has flown by.   So far so good with the surgery.  I am thankful that I have not had any complications thus far.  I can't believe how fantastic I feel and I grateful I am that I was able to have the surgery.

I am also have a procedure done on some of my veins in my left leg. It is scheduled to be done Wed. Nov 25th..the day before Thanksgiving.   I am having laser treatment a few of my veins in my left leg that have circulation issues. I forgot what the treatment is actually called.  The problems started when I got a blood clot in 2002.  The excess weight hasn't helped either.  Dr. Wallace and Dr. Isla will help to make the circulation improve eliminating any issues that I may have have in the future.

Well, I just wanted to stop in and give everyone a quick update.  I am finally in the 100's.........very exciting!!!

Have a great one and I will check in soon!!!

Just wanted to say that I am out of the 200's and into the 100's.....I am very excited.  I have lost 102.5 lbs.  I am about 45-50 lbs away from goal....so that is very exciting.   

Can't wait to see Dr Wallace this month.  I am going for my 9 month follow-up and he is going to discuss treatment for my left leg.  My veins are messed up due to a blood clot that I had in 2002.  We shall see what he says.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all--Just wanted to pop in and say hi.  I am at the cusp of leaving the "obese" status on the Body Mass Index.  Very exciting. 

I am going to the Kane Center today.  Going to get an ultra sound on the veins in my left left.  They kinda pop outta my thigh.  I had a blood clot in 2002.  Doctors have said that the blood clot and the excess weight have pretty much caused this.  I just don't want it to get worse as I grow older. 

Next month I will be going for my 9-month post op visit.  I am shooting for make my 100# weight loss...we shall see.  At this time, Dr. Wallace will discuss the options for these veins.  From what he said, it is pretty much out patient laser surgery.  We shall see.

Well, on my way to the fitness center now and then I have errands to do.  My appt. is in the afternoon, so I hope to get some work done beforehand.

Have a great day everyone.
