Hi friends, I know that I haven't been here in a long time, but please know that you all still have a special place in my heart.  Marcos and I went to Mexico to do our Sacrament wedding in the church that his grandparents were married in which is always something that he wanted to do.  Wanted to share a little picture from it with you.  Hope that you are all doing well.  Hugs to all of you.

Well I am now officially 6 monhs out and 72 lbs. lighter.  I am no longer on any medications, I only take my supplements now.  I will schedule another sleep study after the next 30 pounds, but have slept without the CPAP on several occasions, comfortably.  I am much healthier and happier.  I can walk and excercise without feeling completely trashed in 10 minutes, but that definately took a few months to get to that spot.  My Osteoarthritis is still giving me problems but not as much as it used to.  I am still in need of a Knee replacement but am hoping to be able to postpone that outcome for a few years as the weight continues to come off.  I am really hoping to postpone it for at least 5 years, (fingers crossed, maybe more).  So good luck to everyone and I would like to thank each and everyone of you for all of the support and kindness that each of you have shown me.  Thank you everyone!!  Jodi

Well today is 7/20/06 I have been doing the pre-op diet and getting all of my tests done. I was averaging about 1 to 2.5 lbs. per week. last week we went on a small vacation and i put on 3 lbs. unfortunately. So this week I have put my nose to the grindstone as I want to have this surgery as soon as possible. Went to my weigh in today and I lost the 3 lbs. plus another 1.5!! I am so happy. My bariatric consultant told me today that since my last pre-op test is Monday if I can get them to send the report over to them by the next day, she can get me in to see the Dr. on Wed. I am so excited and can hardly wait!! I will once again put my nose to the grindstone this week and see if I can't do maybe another 4 lbs. Boy if that be the case I will only need another 6 lbs. before I am ready for surgery!!! I am so excited about all of this and can hardly wait to finish this stuff up!!! This board has been so very helpful as so many friends that I have made here have shown me so much support as only a fellow MB Person can know to give. Thank everyone so much for the support and I will keep you updated as I have something to tell!!

 



Well I did not loose 4 lbs. but they have scheduled my surgery for 8/17/06!!!! I am so excited I just can't wait!!! I will be working really hard to get that weight off though!!! I don't want to mess this opportunity up for anything!! Pre-op hospital stuff is scheduled for the 15 which will be my last weigh in day! I am just so excited!!! thanks for the prayers everyone!! 7-30-06

I am on this journey as I am 48 years old and have about 1/2 dozen co-morbidities. I have 7 grandchildren and was such an active mother and look forward to being a active grandmother. I just want to be able to move around and pick them up and watch them grow.
