Update... It's been a while ; )

Feb 21, 2016

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything.... I've had so many things going on in my life it has truly been a roller coster. I'm happy to report that I have lost from my highest weight of 383 down to 159 which is 224lbs and I just recently had my skin removal surgery for my stomach and arms back on December 18, 2015. I'm needing needing to have a revision surgery on my stomach since there was not enough skin removed from the top portion which I'm beside myself over . I just can't wait unit the top part of my stomach look and feel like the bottom part does. I'm still so amazed to see how flat the bottom of my stomach is and how thight that it feels. I'm so happy that I had my stomach muscles tightened.  

 

I'm planning on having my revision for my stomach done hopfully by the end of March and then I'm going back in to have my legs done.  I still see myself as being overweight I know that it's all in my head and but it's so hard for me to beleive that I'm 159lbs I have been obese more that half of my life. I don't every remember being this size. I just can't wait to complete my surgeries and enjoy life.  

 

I wish all of you out there the very best! 

Thanks for stopping in... I will post more when I can. I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey

I've been home since March 26th. Dr Bauman wanted to keep me another day but with my insurance I decided to go home instead. Thanks so much everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate all of your kind words. I'm doing better every day. I'm having a problem with one of my incision. When I went to get the staples removed they ended up having to reopen it up. The bandage has to be changed and incision has to be packed twice a day. It's going to take some time for it to heal. I look forward to posting more updates when I can. 

I wish all of you out there the very best!

Blood Work Update....

Jan 25, 2011

Well I've been sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for approval from my insurance company when low and behold I receive a phone call from my surgeons office today telling me that my blood work came back saying that I had H-Pylorie . H-Pylorie is an infection in your stomach which if left untreated could lead to stomach cancer . It was a blessing from above that I found this out in time before it turned to cancer . I thank the Lord that my leavels are not all that high but my surgeon is still concerned and doesn't want to do surgery on me until I get rid of it . They have me on 3 different meds twice a day to clear it up. I will be on the meds for 2 weeks then I have to be off for two weeks before I can have another H-Pylorie test to see if the meds worked. I hope and pray that God moves for me and it clears it up . I sure hope I don't have to go through another set of meds if these don't work. I will post more once I hear from the insurance company. I hope that I get some good news soon. Thanks so much for stopping in. 

I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey....
