Like I said My nmae is Kim, I started looking into weight loss surgery about 8 months ago,, I recently gained an extra 45 lbs after my brother passed away 2 years ago, He was 41 years old and his heart just gave out, As you can imagine it was not expected and it put me into a depression and when Im in that state I tend to look to food for comfort, I soon realized that if I didnt change my path I too could end up leaving this world sooner than my family and friends would like to see,, After seeing the impact on my brothers passing on his children and the rest of our family . I decided it is time for a change a permanet one, I want to be here for my family, So I researched weight loss surgery and Found a Surgeon I trusted, (Anyone looking for a Great surgeon in Mich Dr. Tallal M. Zeni Is the BEST!) Called to set up apt, they sent me out some paperwork to fill out about my medical history and Insurance and all that before I came back in,, My first apt with Dr. Zeni reasured me that I was making the best descion for me,  I had to go get some testing done (especially on my heart Because of what happened to my brother). All test came back okay so we set the date to have my surgery I had my surgery Dec 10th 2010, I believe that it was the best decsion , I had some complications at first not to major but I will say this surgery is not for the week, I thought It would be very easy I have had other operations so I thought this would be a piece of cake ,, NOT! I did have alot of scar tissue from my other surgeries so they scraped them all out which gave me 7 incsions not 5, I also got some blood trapped in my muscle that was a big owie,, I started feeling better and I thought all the gas from surgery had gone I was wrong,, Every surgery I have had that they havet to blow all that gas in your belly has not gone so well so its not something everyone has issues with, 3 weeks out I felt like I did the day after surgery, Doc says it is normal it happens to like 5% of the patients and they dont know why,, But he told me One day I would wake up and feel all better He was right I woke up one morning I could not believe I felt that good could touch my toes and move with no pain,, Since that day , day 31 I have been doing great, I just started to exercise pu that off for a lil bit , (SHame on me), But I see my arms are getting that loose skin and also in my belly so exercise it is,, Im loving the zumba dvds and I also go the shake it weight ,, dont laugh it is working,, I have so much energy I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! So even though I had a rough time to start with I never regretted my choice, It is a life long gift I gave to myself
