It's been awhile since I've been on here. I have been up and down since the surgery and just haven't really been interested in blogging. Well to update...... I had my surgery and it went pretty well. I will say there are definitely some things that they can't warn you about. I was in the hospital 3 days and when I left I was really swollen from the fluid that they pumped in me from IV's. I weighted more than then the day I went in! So I put my begining weight at 355lbs. As of today my weight is 281.4lbs. So almost 280lbs.  That is soo unreal to me. I know what I was told about this process but to actually see these results, it's jaw dropping! I'm able to walk through a store now and not have my legs and feet feel like they are going to give out. I do have alittle problem with fluid. But over all, I am satisfied with how the weight loss is going. The sanging skin is really showing, so at my doctors visit yesturday I asked her about plastic surgery and she told me that after I loose all the weight we will be putting the wheels in motion for getting it removed. Thank God!  So that's pretty much where I'm at. I will try to keep updating.

Everything is done! All my test (stress test), (blood test), (physical),(EKG) etc. I'm so tired of getting poked and prodded. I guess if you've had this done, you know what I'm talking about. My surgery is this Monday coming. I'm excited, nervous, scared (only because I keep thinking something may happen that will stop me from having the surgery), and anxious. This is like a dream come true for me. I was telling a good friend of mine yesterday what this means to me as a over weight person. She was shocked when I explained to her some of the things that I have experienced living as a over weight person. I just pray that within a year or maybe less, I will experience how it feels to be a smaller size person. I can truly say that I don't remember ever being small. I do have pictures of myself at the age of maybe 6 and I was skinny. I am now 33 so that gives you an idea of how long it's been. Well wish me luck, keep me in prayer, and I will report the outcome.

Blessings to all 

A very good friend of mine had her surgery about 6 to 7 years ago. I had mentioned to her that I have been fine with all of the steps I have had to endure to get to where I am @ today. But all of a sudden now, I have become soo paranoid!!! I am soo scared that something is going to happen where the doctor or his office assistant will tell me for some crazy reason I can't have the surgery
