TWO YEARS Postop!
Mar 22, 2009
Time flies, y'all -- it really does! I cannot believe how long it took me to get approved for surgery, the hoops I had to jump through, and how quickly the last 2 years have now gone by since surgery.
I am happy and healthy! I have had a complication-free course. I would do this all over again, in a heartbeat. NO REGRETS!
I had my 2-year postop/annual visit with my surgeon and nutritionist in the last 2 weeks. My labs all came back normal. I owe my success to their fantastic followup and the program they have in place. My nutritionist & surgeon both told me in the beginning of this process that their patients who are most successful long-term have kept their follow-up appointments and followed their recommendations. So, I set myself up for success by doing the same. I intend to continue to do the same. I take all of my recommended vitamin supplements and continue to take in the recommended amounts of fluids & protein daily. I do not advocate doing this any other way! They are the experts, after all. And I am living proof that following the rules works!
You can follow my progress by watching my You Tube videos. I post topics related to weight loss surgery and my progress. You can see me in the before, during, and since stages of my journey. My name on You Tube is "LiLtinee".
Until next time ... I wish y'all well!
