How my life has changed.

Feb 07, 2010

Well its been 3 yrs today since my re-birth. I do not regret one part of it. Would do it over in a heartbeat. I am off insulin, and no cholesterol medication. I feel soooooo good! I am able to do just about anything. I am not shy about meeting people. I want to go out. I even feel sexy!!  My husband thinks so too. I have been able to do this because of the love and support from my family and friends. I can't tell you it was easy....there are days I still struggle with food intake. Occasionally have had the "dumping" syndrome. I have not completely reach my goal yet. About 20# away....but I am not giving up. We have had alot fo stress happen in the past few years and that doesn't help. But I learned to pick up the pieces and move on.

To anyone wanting or thinking of having this surgery.....PLEASE.....think of how much better your life would be. Healthwise. I was told I would have been gone in a few years had I not done this. Thats how sick I was. Insulin and oral meds for diabetes. Bllod pressure meds, like 3 of them. Cholesterol, Thyroid and antidepressants. I didnt want to do anything. If we had to do alot of walking, I didn't want to go even though I knew it would be fun. Kept me from enjoying alot.

I can't stress enough, to please think seriously about having this surgery. And it has to be for you...not anyone else. ou have to decide to do this. Attend meetings, support groups, websites such as this one. It has helped me out tremendously. All those questions I thought were silly or stupid, I found others asked a thousand times over before me.

Will keep posting.....Good luck to those new pre-ops, and to those with upcoming surgery dates and thouse even contemplating this path in your life.
