I'm BACK!!!!

May 01, 2012

In a few short weeks I'll be celebrating my 5 year "Surgiversary".  Thinking back, I never thought I'd be someone who had a success story to post... and yet, here I am!  This surgery has been an enormous blessing to me and I would do it again in a heartbeat... it literally gave me a life that I never thought possible!

In the last 8 months or so, I've gained some weight back which has been devastating, but I'm not going to let that sideline me!  I know that the statistics say people usually gain a certain percentage back after a certain period of time - my regain initially started with some unstable hormone levels, and as a bit of a depression set in, I let it get out of control.  I can fully admit that as the years go by, I have gotten more and more relaxed about what I put in my mouth, and how much exercise I get (or don't get as the case actually is)... which has most certainly attributed to the total amount of my gain... it'd be nice to blame everything on a medical condition, but that's not the case, and I am holding myself accountable.

Thanks for letting me ramble... and I'd appreciate advice from the been-there/done-that folks!
