Where do I start?? There's so much to say about my story. As you can see you can read about my WL Journey in the Journal area, so I will try and sum up "My Story" for you here.......
I am 30 years old, divorced and LOVING life now!! SINGLE & FABULOUS is what I call myself now......1 year ago I wouldn't have thought that. I was 100 pounds overweight and in a unhappy marriage.....then I met Dr. Moazzez at the WL Seminar held at Fair Oaks Hospital and he changed my life forever!!
On February 7th, 2006 I had WLS. My surgery weight was 231, but that's only because I had to lose a few before surgery, so I like to take my starting weight as 246. My goal is to lose 100 pounds!! And I aim to do that before this year is over.
The surgery was good. I didn't have any complications. Everything went well and I healed from my incisions (LAP RNY) very well. Months and months passed and my weight fell off....YES it fell off....like over night!! No kidding!
Today is October 26th, and I am a little over 8 months out...and I now weight 156.2. YIPEE!! I have lost a total of 89.8 pounds and I feel GREAT! I went from a size 22/24 to a 12/10/8 (depending on how it's made). I can't believe I can wear an 8!! I have NEVER wore an 8!! I am too excited to even explain it!
I have 10.2 pounds to go until I reach my goal and I think by the end of November I will have reached my goal, and I can't wait....there will be some MAJOR celebrating going on in my house!!
That's my story in a nut shell... LOL.
