Surgeon Testimonial

Neil S. Marymor, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Marymore was wonderful. He made me feel comfortable despite the complications that we faced. And he did a great job on both of my surgeries.

    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!

Im there!!!!

Wow has it been a while!
Well...Ive got lots to update on.
I am below the 100lb mark! Yes! I am now weighing in at 132lbs! Its amazing. I never thought Id ever loose as much as I have.
Last night I bought a shirt in a size small. So I wear it to work today...come to find out that its too big!!! I should have gotten an extra-small!!! Thats just crazy. When I look at myself, I dont see someone that looks little. Its weird.
I was having issues with energy really bad here for a while. First I was put on Provigil. I have never felt so sick. I had to stop taking it. So I went back to my Dr and asked for the B12 shot. She started me on those once a week and also Iron pills. So far it seems to be helping. Im still tired...but its an improvement.
Ive been getting a lot of attention these days. So much more than what Im used to. At first it was flattering...but now its getting old. And at times a little scary. I even had a stalker for a while. But after I threatened to call the police, he stopped. So thats good.
Is it normal to look at yourself and not see a thin person? I honestly dont see it. I mean...in pictures I see it sometimes. Ive had people tell me I need to stop loosing...that Im starting to look sick. I dont see that at all.
I posted a few new pictures on here. They are of me in a bikini! Never imagined Id get into one of them again! But anyway...you can see how Ive progressed thus far.
A little off the topic here....
My husband and I recently separated. It seems that we are going in different directions. Now some would say its because I had surgery. And Im sure that plays a part in it. I think he has a big issue with the attention I get. Also he doesnt like that I want to go out on the weekends and have fun. He expects me to sit at home on the couch. Ive tried to explain to him that I, for the first time in 5 years, feel ALIVE!!! I feel young and full of life. Like Ive been given a second chance. He doesnt understand..I guess I cant expect him to. Im not sure where things will go with this. At first I was devistated...although it was a mutual thing...you cant ever prepare yourself enough for these things. So Im just trying to figure things out right now. But any advise on this would be great. Ive never been through a divorce before.
