Well guys and gals here I am at almost 2 years post op in March 2009.  I am down 140 pounds and feeling great.  I can actually keep up with my daughter and not get out of breath.  I finished my first 5k in November.  I can actually sit in the seats at amusement parks.  The world is wide open!  People do treat you differently when you are skinny.  It is amazing.   I still see the fat person in the mirror and still tend to go to the larger sizes.  I guess that will be a life long battle.   Good luck to those of you that are thinking about having surgery.  It is no all that hard and it is WORTH it !  I wished I had done this sooner.  

Well,,,,, I feel good and I think I look pretty good too!  It has been an amazing year for me.  I have been just dropping the weight and feeling better everyday.  Finally folks are telling me that I am HOT.  Thanks guys I needed that.  I wished that I had done this sooner.

Well it has been 5 months now and I am down 95 pounds and wearing a size 16!  I cannot believe it!!  I feel great and just feel like I am still in shock.  I can ride the rides at the amusement park with my daughter and it felt great!

Well guys I am really feeling it now.  I have people telling me everyday how good I look.  Can I tell you how good it feels to not be recognized by people you have known all your life?  It is wonderful for someone to look at you and just walk by because they do not know you.  All my clothes are falling off my hips and I have came down 2 scrub sizes at work!!!!  I am amazed everyday at the changes in my body.  I am loving life and cannot wait to be an even BIGGER LOOSER!  
I know dad is in heaven being happy for me and I cannot wait for our reunion in HEAVEN.  Dad you are my superstar.  I miss you and I did this because of you.  I love you very much!! 

I am now almost three months post-op and feeling great!  I get many compilments throughout the day at work about how good I am looking and what a difference it is making in my apprearance.  It is a major morale booster.  I guess I did not realize how "bad" I looked.  My daughter that is 5 is telling me how proud she is of me and that I look good.  Sooooo a 5 year old opinion is high up in my book.  Good luck to those who are thinking about this surgery and do not second guess yourself.

Well I am six weeks out from surgery and I am down to 252 pounds!  Yeah!!  Still having trouble with my energy level and getting all my meals in.  I would do it all over again in a heart beat!  My daughter is so proud of me too. 

 Well surgery went off with out a hitch.  I did not have any complications.  I had some of the nicest nurses at the hospital and I am very excited about this phase in my life.

I got my surgery date!!  March 7 will be my birthday!!!  I cannot wait until I have it.  Good luck with those starting the journey.

Well guys I have a preOp appointment March 1.  I am excited for that day that is coming for me.  I have waited along time for this.  I am hoping to be smaller by this summer.  I cannot wait for the day that I will have to reintroduce my self to everyone!

I got my appointment for my preop scheduled in March 1.  I am excited about it.
