130 pounds GONE in 6 months!!!

Hey all. Forgot to update a few days ago on my 6 month surgiversary. I got out of the hospital on Oct. 19th after being there for 18 days. And then a week before that I was in another week and now I'm back in here again since Tuesday. LORDY! But I have lost 130 pounds since my surgery 6 months ago. It's probably more now, but as of the 23rd I was 314 and I was 444 the day of surgery. That just seems so unreal to me. I'm probably down to something like 310 now, It seems like nothing to be down 4-5 pounds every couple of days lately. It's really quite scary. I mean yeah, I'm still bigger that most of ya'lls starting weights but the way this stuff is falling off just doesn't feel ANY kinds of healthy right now. SO.........would I do this surgery again??? Heck...........no. Yeah the weight loss aspect has been good but the rest of it has STUNK. I'm so jealous of those of you who have had relatively problem free rides. Boy I think it's my turn for one. I'm tired of hospitals and IV's and banana bags and potassium drips and liquid diets and smelling like an alchohol prep pad. I want to go home and be normal. I had to drop out of all 5 of my classes with a medical withdrawl because I couldn't keep up with all the hospitaliizations..........even though I have a laptop. I just needed to concentrate on me and getting me better. So, here I sit.........bored again, wondering if THIS is going to be my last hospitalization. It stinks! I hope you all are doing well. I know I haven't been posting lately. Too much going on. Allie

I am so sorry to hear about your troubles Allie. That stinks.

Thanks Mark! Yeah it stinks but whatta ya do? At least I've almost lost half my excess weight. That's a plus!! Allie

It will all be worth it. Just think how much freedom you will have once out of that body

Ive been praying for you Allie. Things have got to get better soon. Are they still thinking about doing another surgery or what are they thinking now??? I hope you are doing okay. Keep your chin up Cindy

Wow Allie, I am so sorry to hear about all that you have been going through the last six months. This is supposed to be a happy time for you. But I can only pray that your time is coming. Hang in there.

Allie, you sure have been through a lot. Your strength is remarkable. try to concentrate on the good part.......the 130 pound loss. I know, it's easy for me to say. Some day you will hopefully be glad you had the surgery. meanwhile, you know we are all here for you. Shar

Allie, you really are an amazing person - I hope we cross paths in life one day. Congrats on your astounding weight loss, and every pound is triple deserved because of the hard road you've traveled to get there. It is definitely your turn for a break, and I pray that will come very soon for you! Inky
