Siix months out
on August 29, 2008 7:43 pm

Well here it is 6 months and 2 weeks and I have loss a total of 104 lbs. I still can't believe that I have loss that much. I am feeling so much better going out and doing things with my grandchildren makes it all worth wild, being able to climb stairs and walking again without being out of breath. The best thing is that I don't have to take thyroid medicine any more and no more diabetic medicine. I just take the vitamins and a tylenol once in awhile when I acke. I thank the Lord for making away for me to have the surgery and getting my life back as a healthy woman. I am amazed every day of the changes that my body is going through. Til next up date,
Tomygirl

My Story

I am a 266 overweight woman who has sugar diab. and a thyroid problem and a bad back which I had 3 surgeries. My exercising was very limited. I tried weight watchers and I joined curves. I loss some weight and had to quit curves as the strain on my back was to much. I have 3 beautiful granddaughters and I knew that I had to do something if not for myself for them. I wanted to do be able to go out and play ball with them take them to amusement parks and fit in the seats of the rides, so I went to the doctors and she suggested I have the gastric by pass. Well I didn;t hesitate I set up and appt. and I went to the seminar and I contacted my insurance and they approved it within 5 days. I got the date for my surgery and I was ready to start the new me. My surgery was on Feb. 18, 2008.
