on the road to recovery
on February 16, 2010 6:53 pm
So it is over, I had the hernia repair and TT. And of course it hurts like hell. Coughing was the worst.  I go tomorrow for the check up with Dr. Teel, pray I get the stupid-ass drains out.  Hate'em.

Otherwise, I am hanging in there.

TT/hernia repair date scheduled
on January 12, 2010 8:00 pm
Feb 9th, is my surgery date for both TT/hernia repair... should be "fun".
I am excited about the TT however, I REALLY can't wait to get the hernia repaired... it has hindered me for nearly 5 years... I want it fixed. I should have it repaired during the DS surgery--hands down. Getting things in order at my house, such as got my "old" cleaning lady coming back. I stopped using her about a year ago. Well, she is coming back. I do not want to have a messy house, while recooperating, I do not want to feel compelled to clean and open any incisions... I want to be very careful. Have also explained to my boys they can't jump on me while I am sitting/standing... or anything. they need to be helpful, as I am sure they will. I go for the pre-surgeru stuff on the 25th. we'll see how that all goes.

1 year surgiversary!!
on April 9, 2009 5:18 am
So it has been a year. A great journey it has been. Picking the DS over RNY was the smartest thing I have ever done.  My sons and husband are so proud of me, I hope I can continue to enjoy the success of the DS and get close to my goal weight. Which I orignally made like 145, but frankly, I would be okay if I lost another 20 lbs.. I still have what i consider a lot of belly fat. And with my hernia I feel like I can't exercise to my fullest extent, to help with the lost of the belly fat.I need to lose more weight before they want to repair it, but I feel like it is slowing down the belly fat weight loss. Kinda like a Catch-22. But as I mentioned this is the best site for advice, all over helpfulness from everyone on here. Thanks again to everyone who has assisted me in this journey.

194!!!

It's about time.   I wish I had the time to post here daily, I just don't. I found these to be very helpful before I had surgery. I want to help other people too.  
So I am at 104 loss from day of surgery (4-8-08) and 123 loss from my heavist  (June 07)

I can't wait to get my century card, I finally talk to someone- she seems to be all over it.

Still having trouble getting all my protien in. I try to eat it more than take the supplements.
My hair has thinned, which sucks, cause I had GREAT hair. I pray it will come back.

But overall, I am happy with my decision. I am healthier, thinner, and proud of myself.
