6 months out and some thoughts!
Hello, Yesterday was 6 months out of gastric byapss and I have sat here the past two days and I reflect on how my life has changed just in the last 6 months, well really since 8-8-07 on the pre-op liquid and cabbage diet I did tp get my BMI under 60 for the Surgery. From 8-8-07 to 10-22-07preop diet then 10-23-07 came around and I was scared, nervious, and wondering what to expect after this life changing surgery, it was a gift from God. I was so sick prior to this surgery and feel so blessed to have my labs show that I am healthy, no diabeties, no hypertension, AND IF YOU KNOW MY STORY PRIOR TO WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY NO HEAVEY, NASTY, OUT OF CONTROL Bleeding I am getting depo shots every 4 weeks due to break thru bleeding but nothing like it was prior to surgery. I just want to Thank one my self for staying strong and having my head on straight, my husband, my child, my family, Dr. Oakley, And my friends everywhere! I started this journey at 400.5 pounds on 8-8-07, then surgery I was 363 and yesterday at 6 months I was 262 so I have lost 101 since surgery and 138 since I met Dr. Oakley the on 8-8-07. Alot of weight gone, and I have a long way to go but taking it one day at a time. I am feeling fantastic! God Bless you all! Kristy
You and I are close in our surgery dates! Congratulations on your loss so far.
I used to have major problems with bleeding and am still a fairly heavy bleeder but no where near where it used to be. Once I get another 50 pounds or so off, I'm going to have uterine ablation which is an outpatient treatment for heavy bleeding. It's not for someone who thinks they may want to have more children because they cauterize the lining of the uterus, but believe me, I'm done with kids.
This is an awesome journey we ar on together!
