Just had my 6 month post op on Thursday. I am down 108lbs since my heaviest weight! I'm starting to get a better handle on my vitamins and the correct eating habits. All in all, everything is starting to come together beautifully! 

Since surgery on the 6th I am down another 17lbs. Adding that to my 12lbs lost during preop diet, puts me at 29down!!!half way to getting out of the 300s

I am postoperative now, even after last weeks little hiccup. I am so thankful that I had this done. The only negative is I am still having trouble passing gas, which is causing some pain and strain on some of my incisions.

Heading out to the hospital again. Hopefully this time I will come back POST-OP!!!

SO my surgery this morning had to be postponed because the person ahead of me had too many complications with their surgery. That and my surgeon started not feeling well. 

At first I was devastated. I had been in the hospital with an IV in my hand freaking out between nervous and excitement, waiting for this to happen. Then I came to my senses. Why would I want to force someone who is tired from a complicated procedure before me who isn't feeling well, doing the surgery that is going to help me change my life. 

With that being said we were able to reschedule for his first spot Thursday morning. Leaving the hospital I was still pretty upset, especially since I  couldn't even talk to my surgeon about it. Later that night I knew I had made the right choice with my surgeon choice. 

Not only did he pay for my food for the rest of today and tomorrow, but he personally called my cell phone and left me a message apologizing and explaining what happened. Also, since I was so willing to work with them to reschedule, he wanted me to be his first patient Thursday morning so nothing else could go wrong. 

Now that I am completely calm, I am extremely grateful that the hospital team and surgical team (even though I didn't see it at the time) really wanted what was best for me and I couldn't be happier with my choice of not only surgeon and surgery, but the whole team. 

On the positive note, I now know exactly where to go to sign in, register, and how stubborn my veins are for the IV. I'm trying my best to stay positive and relaxed. By the end of this week I will be post-op, I might have hit a speed bump, but I didn't hit a dead end. 

SO the hospital is calling me around noon today to let me know what time I need to be there tomorrow morning. I have been so nervous that I haven't been able to keep anything down. I'm really worried this is going to affect my hydration and my blood work if they do any tomorrow. 

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Surgery is the day after tomorrow! Holy moley! I'm so excited and nervous and terrified and nervous and excited!

It is getting down to the wire and I have a sea of emotions. From fear of going under the needle to excitement to getting this done and eventually running my first 5k. It feels like every minute that passes by is dragging out to a full hour. THREE DAYS!!!!!! 

I went for my last product check and doctor appt before surgery. I AM DOWN 12lbs!!!!!

Today has been a struggle. The tiniest little things have been setting me off. From the cats running down the hall way, to my boyfriend not adequately covering his mouth when sneezing. I am 22 years old and I feel like I'm going through menopause.
