Life Update

Feb 04, 2009

What do I say that hasn't been said already so many times.  Things in general are outstanding.  I absolutely love my newfound zest for life and all it has to offer me each and everyday.  Health is fantastic.  I recently had a 1 yr. followup for lab work and all looks great.  My A1C score (long term diabetic indicator) is 4.9 = healthy as can be.  Calcium, B12, Iron,etc. is well within normal limits.  I couldn't be happier with the decision I made to have the RNY procedure.  It has well been worth everything I have had to go through to get where I am now.  Along those same lines, I am doing well post-op (6 weeks) from having had plastic surgery for a panniculectomy.  I love having my 21 year old "abs of steel".  I don't have the 6 pack or 8 pack abs of steel, but there is no extra skin whatsoever, I am flat as a board and my abdomen is hard as a rock baby. I love the fact that I now can wear jeans/pants and not have that stomach roll make me feel so self concious.  It is nice to be looked at complimented on how good looking I am now versus where I was almost a year ago.  My self-confidence is amazing now.  I no longer worry about what people think or say about me because I now know that people are no longer starring or talking about me because of being so overweight.  That one fact alone is worth anything in the world - at least it is to me.  

Oh well, enough for now.  I really do need to get some fresh pictures posted of my new stomach.
