Hi Shelly, I have not had surgery....I am now just doing research on it ( truthfully I am scared to death that I die)...but I had to tell you, that you made my day, you are so funny....I laughed so hard (out loud) at your episode in the play yard that even my husband had to come see what I was laughing about...I had tears streaming down my cheeks...and it was all I could do to tell him why and that I wish one day I could meet you....you sound like a real fun person to know... I also wanted to congratulate you on your success and tell you just how beautiful you were and are even more so now...also many happy years in your marriage...you make a lovely couple...take care....many healthy and happy years are wished for you my friend....Lynn 8)

Shelly, you are adorable! I loved reading your profile (especially the "nervous as a whore in church" comment - cracked me up). Thank you for keeping such an infomative and humorous profile. I'll be crossing over in about 3 weeks. A little nervous, but looking forward to it. Anyways, congrats on your weight loss and good luck on your future successes as well.

WOW!!! What a profile you have. I enjoyed reading every word. I think we must have been in the hospital together. I had my open rny on 6-28-01 with Dr. Rumsey!!! I was kind of a recluse. I was in a lot of pain and did not want to upset the other patients. I am so glad that you are doing so wonderful. How much have you lost totally in lbs and inches? I have lost 65 lbs and a ton of inches. I wish I would have taken measurements before surgery, but did not. I developed and infection in my incision and it took 2 mos to heal. Dr. Rumsey had to cut me open 4 extra times!! OUCH!! But I am healed up now and do not regret for one second having this life saving surgery. I am diabetic (which accounts for the infection, I get one everytime I have surgery) and was taking 7 pills a day and 5 shots of insulin a day, I am now taking zero pills and zero shots. I am also off all my high blood pressure meds. My husband had the same surgery, same dr on 10-9-01. He is doing fantastic. He lost 51 lbs in the first 2 weeks, a lot of it was fluid, but it counts too!! Read his profile, it is very encouraging (see DOUGLAS WILSON, LA MESA, CA.) I am sure he is going to pass me by with his weight loss soon. Men seem to do that. He had a problem free recovery. Good luck to you with your diet and I hope you surprise your family at Christmas!!
