One Year Surgi-versary! Some Regrets + Foe Toe Hoe N

 
Looking forward to more good and less bad and ugly!  Thanks, Nicolle!

Congratulations on making one year with all the obstacles! You were beautiful before and absolutely gorgeous now.

 Aw shucks, thanks!   

Congratulations!  I know you're journey has been a rough one and it's great that you're sharing.  It's important for people to know the severity of  the decision to have wls. 

 
Jersey!!!    Yes, I'm trying to keep it real for folks.  Most will have a cake walk, but don't be surprised if there are egg shells in that sucka sometimes!  

 I am very sorry about all that you went through!  That is really tough stuff.  But honey, you look AMAZING!  I hope and pray from this day forward, it's all smooth sailing for you!  May year number two be the best ever!!!  Looking forward to your 2nd surgiversary post and a good report!

You've done an awesome job with your surgery and the complications. I hope that the further out you get the more these memories will fade and you will enjoy your DS.

so sorry your ds journey has been a rocky and bumpy road.  so glad your faith helped you through it all. 
you have performed a very valuable lesson here today. you have posted a wonderful, informative message that hopefully newbies and those considering wls will read.  it's not always sunshine and buttercups on the recovery road.
thanks again for being so brave to post about your journey.  glad you are feeling better.  you certainly look like a million bucks!

 
Noreen, thank you for picking up on the fact that I was a bit reluctant to post anything contrary to the official rainbows and unicorns DS story!  I never want to do or say anything that would discourage someone from considering or having a DS--too many doctors and too many randoms with too much MISinformation do that all that time.   At the same time, people need to know that this stuff is real--any WLS can be a bear.  I do love my DS, and it loves me back now, but it took us a while to warm up to one another.  Thanks for the compliment!

our stats are about the same, except the misery, ive had nothing but a cake walk,  this is a dream come true, no grief what ever,
