BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Aug 02, 2008
Hello everybody. I know it's been a very long time since i've posted. My life is unbelievably hectic these days.I've been doing well. I'm now down to 125 lbs. from 262 lbs. It has been a wild ride. Im me again. When i think of my surgery i still cannot believe that i actually did it. I had always thought that surgery was beyond my reach that it would never happen. I still can't belive it. A God sent miracle. I'm very fortunate that I really have no sagging or loose skin. Although i have to say my breasts leave alot to be desired. I figure i'll get those taken care of next year sometime after i'm done losing weight.To my online friends you'll never know how much your support before and after surgery meant to me. That I will never ever forget. You all were my lifeline. I hope this post finds you all doing as well as myself.

Last thoughts before the DAY!
Sep 08, 2007
Can someone tell me:Is it normal that im less nervous now(the night before surgery)than i've been since i began this quest.I've suddenly become calm,relaxed and ready to go.I hope that's a good sign.I've spent my day packing,doing last minute chores around the house.My oldest son,his girlfriend and my in-laws came by for my send off.So i guess all these months of preparing have come to pass.I began this process on May 15th so it's been a real journey,sometimes good sometimes not so good but each procedure bringing me closer to my ultimate goal.Well i guess this is it for now.-Lee Ann

Today is day 2 home from the hosp.Feeling a little better each day.Finally i'm not having much of a problem with gas.This has been quite a ride so far.It's difficult to get my protein in,because im not hungry and i've found that i wasn't a water person before but i've grown to like it somewhat.The thought of another protein shake makes me blaaah.I'm also finally beginning to drop some of the fluid i took on in the hosp.Soi guess all's good.
