Another surgery

Jan 06, 2010

On the 12th I will be going in for surgery on my right shoulder. Ever since I started losing weight, my shoulder has been hurting worse and worse. An MRI showed some torn tendons so they are going to go in and clean up the area and see what is going on. If they need to do any repairs, they will do it right then and there but at this point in time, I will be going home the same day!

When I went in for my pre op I discovered that I have lost another 3 pounds in two weeks. At my last regular doc visit I weighed 365.8 and yesterday I weighed in at 362.5. I am thrilled every time I get on that scale and see a smaller number! Think about it....I have lost 133 pounds in 11 months...that is the equivalent of a slim adult!!! I am tickled pink! I like that I am losing it slowly...I believe it is much healthier.

My only problem now is that all of the skin of my stomach is hanging down and pulling on my lower back. It makes my legs go numb all the time..even when I am sitting down! My back hurts a lot more now too but I plan to get it looked at soon too.

Unfortunately, it will have to wait until after February! My husband has been out of work since August and we are going to lose our house. It is not a bad thing really. We are looking forward to our move! There are going to be so many things available for us to do where we are moving! Come summer, I will be sweating off the pounds for sure! Florida is worse than SC in that way! LOL

On the cusp of my one year anniversary, I have to say that I am very pleased with my results and have absolutely no regrets about having this surgery! I no longer feel as if I am living on borrowed time! Now, I am enjoying life again and it is wonderful! 

If anyone is considering surgery and has any questions, don't hesitate to email me privately. My email is [email protected] . I add it here because I don't check this website regularly enough.

Happy New Year everyone! May it be the best year for all of you!
