Catching up . . .4 years after surgery

Feb 14, 2010

Hi Everyone,

I have not neglected this site just some very positive life changes for me have happened.  December 2009 was my 4 year anniversary for my GBP surgery.  I am still doing great and feeling great.  As my weight came off a little at a time (after the initial whooping weight loss after surgery) and I started feeling better and better with more and more energy I kept making positive decisions in my life.  I know I have mentioned before about going to College in February 2008.  Well, with working and going to school it didn't leave much time for me to do anything else.  But without surgery I could not have done it.  It takes much energy to keep up with school, work and personal responsibilities.  Anyhow . . . in June of this year I will be graduating as a Pharmacy Technician ! ! !  It has been a long 2 1/2 years but so worth it.  Before my surgery I could not function well and was very depressed.  It was hard to work and I got myself into some financial difficulties.  Due to the loss of my husband (cancer) I could not keep up mentally or physically.  Because of my GBP surgery I am a new person making new life for myself.

AS FOR MY WEIGHT LOSS . . . I have kept all my weight off after 4 years.  I feel great and have much energy and I am in good spirits.  My decision to have this surgery was the best decision I ever made in my life.  It has made a difference as to how I face life and now I am able to deal with life with a more positive attitude.  It seems like my post are once a year now but at least I am posting.  I will never forget where I've been before surgery and what I have accomplished after surgery. But I also will never forget that I could not have done this without the help of God and the faith I have put in Him to see me through my rough times and where He is leading me now.

My best to all of you who have had surgery and those who may be deciding to have surgery.
