15 months out

Aug 29, 2009

 August 13th made 15 months out from surgery and what a 15 months it has been.  Today marked officially having lost 235 pounds.  I now weigh much less than I have lost.  I can honestly say that while I hoped to get to the weight I am at these days, I don't think I ever expected it to happen.  I also didn't expect to still feel this big even if I did get to this weight.  I attribute how I feel about my body to the fact that I still have a large belly but hopefully with plastics that will be taken care of soon.  When I went to the doctor for my one year check up I was told I could start seeing plastic surgeons in September.  Well, I am starting off September with a bang because on the 1st of September I have my 1st consult appointment.  If all goes according to plan, I should be having the surgery sometime at the end of the year.  I still have two other appointments to make and hopefully I will feel comfortable with at least one of these doctors doing the surgery.  I suspect this will be another out of pocket medical expense, so I sure am going to get what I want if I have to pay for it.  This is why I am doing three consults and more if I have to.

Everyday continues to be a new adventure.  I continue to live life to the fullest and don't let much keep me down.  I was always a go bug but nowadays it is non-stop and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I know there is no way I can make up for lost time but I sure can not waste the time I have now!
