Feb. 2, 2009 - 10 months later...

Feb 02, 2009

Where did the time go? Has it really been 10 months since I was wheeled into surgery and came out thinking what the HECK have I done? It has flown by so fast. Before I know it my one year anniversary will be here. I may have to throw a birthday party. It does feel like a rebirth. I have lost 120 lbs and 7 sizes.

It has not always been an easy journey, but I can honestly say that I do not regret for a minute having had VSG. I am so different on so many levels now than I was 1 year ago. I have so much more energy, I am not in pain, and I feel confident in my clothes. I no longer feel like the fattest person in the room. I know my health has improved tremendously.

My DH and I have been taking dance classes. We have taken salsa, rumba, merengue, jitterbug, triple swing, foxtrot, and have loved every minute of it. NO WAY could I have done that a year ago. We dance 3-4 nights a week now. We will be leaving on a cruise this Sunday. I am not embarrassed about wearing a swimsuit in public. So different than a year ago. I have LOVED shopping for the clothes to take on that cruise and my DH has loved going with me and seeing the excitement when I try on something SEXY. Something else we have begun to share again.

I encourage anyone to keep a photo journal and a written journal. You will not believe the transformation in yourself without the proof! I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!!!
