May 08, 2009

It is my two year surgiversary today...

Thus far, I have lost 82% of my excess weigh... just 24 pounds to my "goal"... and I have been at this stall for about 6 months now... I am joining Premier Fitness to up the game and get to that goal... and I am saving my pennies for my lower body lift - hopefully in two years.  My waist measurement is a size 16, but due to the excess skin I am wearing bottoms of a size 18 to 20 depending on the cut.  In tops I am 16/18 or a 1x... it is WAY better then the size 32/34 bottoms and 5X tops I used to squeeze into!!!!  I will say that my health is not what I thought it would be -- but that has nothing to do with the WLS itself, but rather a back injury I sustained in 1997.  However, I no longer have sleep apnea (got rid of the CPAP!!), and my reflux/GERD is GONE, as well as my use of my asmtha meds has dramatically decreased - and these are all directly related to my weight loss / WLS.

I have been involed with the WLS community for about 3 years now - and I love to be able to share and pass on what I have learned - from my own personal experience as well as the information I have gained in my quest to soak up all I can related to all WLS options.  I love helping to facilitate the Find Your Weigh Hamilton and Area Weight Loss Surgery Support Group ([email protected]) and meeting many new folks, not to mention all of the wonderful freindships that I have developed along my journey -- I thank you all!
