I am so blessed...

Jul 09, 2013

It has been almost a year since I posted on OH. I finally had my surgery. I still can't believe it til this day. My surgery was at Celebration Health in Celebration, FL with Dr. Keith Kim. As I mentioned in June of last year. Dr. Kim said I had to lose 100 pounds and get like 4 clearances before he would perform my surgery. When I heard that I wanted to give up. But, I kept at it and lost 100 pound in seven months. I was so proud of my achievement. Dr. Kim performed my surgery on March 19, 2013. I will celebrate that date as my second birthday because that is the day I was reborn. I have lost 86 pounds and counting since surgery. God is truly amazing.

I did have one complication since surgery. One month post op I had to have my gallbladder removed. It was a surprise to me, but I didn't let that get me down. I bounced back pretty fast and kept moving forward. Since surgery, I have been able to do so much more than I could ever imagine. I even have a Bahamas Cruise scheduled for this December.

Now, I just have to keep focused and let let any set back get me down. I have a smile on my face every day and I thank God for all his many blessings.  If I can be successful at this, anyone can. And that is the truth!
