6 month surgiversary!!!

Nov 19, 2009

I went in Tuesday for my 6 month post op and am sooo excited with the results!!  I am down to 166 lbs, have lost 72% of my excess body weight and 51% of that is pure fat!!  My surgeon is super impressed, he told me that I am further now than what he expected me to be a 1 year out, in fact I am further now than he would expect a RNY patient to be at one year.....Isn't that exciting....

I have literally worked my butt off, and it shows and I have never been happier, I am soooo glad that I made the decision to do this for myself.....I am a self pay and I still feel guilty at times for spending the money on this, but my awesome husband tells me it was an investment in his future as well.

My kids are gitty with excitement as well, they keep saying mom you are so little.....it makes me proud....and I am excited that I will be here for many years to come.

My comorbidities are gone....no more diabetes, no more hypertension, no more hypercholestrerolemia and the joint pain is gone as well.

If you are questioning having this surgery DONT....do it and get on with your life, it is worth it.   

Thanks for everyones support, the journey has been amazing....and i am not done yet.
