Have come along way Babe 2 years
Two years September 18th I had my sleeve. I remember being at the hospital in Mexico waiting for my surgery nervous wondering if I had made the right decision to have surgery, wondering if I would make it through the surgerey LOL, and anxiously awaiting my turn for surgery. Wow hard to believe it was 2 years ago. It is still so vivid in my mind each and every detail.
Well here I am 2 years later with 80 pounds gone. I feel so much better physically. So much better emotionally. I realize this has been the best thing I have EVER done for myself. I went from a size 22 to a size 12/10. Do things I would have never done before. Have more confidence, energy.
When my head wants more food my stomach says no Thank goodness. This is permament portion control Which is exactly what I needed. I go up and down about 4 pounds. When I am up a bit I tune in to making better choices.
Can you believe I love exercising now. Who would have thought. Before it was always so physically hard and painful. Now I crave it, miss it when I am not able to be active. (Is this really me? LOL)
Now it is time that I am going ahead with my journey and having Plastics on Oct 5. I am having a LBL, breast lift lipo and at the same time fixing my hammer toe. (Should be very messed up for awhile LOL) It is interesting I am going through the same emotions
excited one second then terrified. Then excited again. It is coming fast. Oh wow!!!!!!!
But I could not remember this special day without thanking each and everyone of you for all your support, love, and for being my friends in this amazing journey. And of course my special cousin who told me about this wonderful site. What a ride it has been!!!!!!

I am so excited for you. I cannot wait to see how good you are going to look. You were so supportive when I had my surgery, and all of you were so excited for me. Now here we both are so much thinner and so much happier. I can't wait to see you all "finished" If I don't see you before I know I will at Thanksgiving. Your poor sister having to take care of you now!!! But then, you work everyday too. You will be in my thoughts, everything will be fine. I am so HAPPY for you, and so jealous.
I love you my dear sweet cousin. Diane
