Update

Nov 07, 2010

I am sorry that I haven't been on here much, but I have been doing other things for awhile.

I am down to ~220 lbs now!  My GF is working towards having the surgery too!  I wish I had done this earlier!

This is amazing!

Jul 08, 2010

Today I have broken the 240 lbs barrier.  This time last year I was weighing close to 400 lbs.  I wish I did this surgery a lot sooner.  I feel better and my health has vastly improved.

I am one that is a believer in this surgery!

Jun 12, 2010

Sorry that I haven't been updating recently, but I have been quite busy with packing up for a move, moving and getting settled.  Update on my weight-loss: down 170 and still going.  I am estatic about this happening.  If I only knew sooner....

Oh my!!!

Feb 19, 2010

Well, I know it has been awhile since I have had surgery.  I am amazed at how well I am doing.  I weighed about 370 before surgery, but am down to 280 now!!!!  I am VERY pleased with my progress and amazed at the transformation that has happened with me.  People have noticed my weightloss and are commenting on how much better I look.  I also FEEL so much better!

My biggest issue is remembering to eat.  I do not feel hungry ever.  I have to remind myself it is time to eat and to eat the proper things.  I have NO desire to eat snacks or anything.  My GF actually has to bring me food on a regular basis because I forget about it.  I know, I need to do something about doing that on my own.

My weight has always been something I hated about me, but now I am on my way to a level that I haven't seen in a long time.  The weightloss I having right now is helping me get out of my depression, my fears of people looking at me and thinking "what a fat @ss" and other negative thoughts.

I wish I did this surgery years ago.

Wow, what a difference this makes for me

Dec 24, 2009

Since I have had surgery, I have lost 44lbs!!!!  I am truly amazed and happy.  I have not had any problems so far other than the famous first BM after surgery.  

I am really happy about my weight loss and happy that this will take me down the road to where I will be able to have a long life.  I will not post any new pictures of me until after my 3 month visit.

surgery earlier today

Dec 14, 2009

I had surgery earlier today.  When I woke up, I was more afraid than a prostitute in church!  I was panicking and freaking in general.  I was able to get past that due to someone in the chatroom.

I am doing fine.  I am in my room and have a bit of discomfory from the girdle that I am wearing.  I have eaten.  I was able to have a small jello and broth.

Pre-op Visit

Dec 03, 2009

I had my pre-op visit yesterday.  Surgery is on December 14th and I have to be at the hospital at 530AM. :(  I HATE having to get up that early.

I have lost 18 lbs since my first visit in mid-October.  I am quite proud of that.  It is just the beginning of my weight-loss too!  I have the goal of being able to run a 5k in 2 yrs!  I used to do that in <16 minutes and know I will never be able to do that again, but I want to be able to run it nevertheless; even if you have to time me by a sundial!!!!

Surgery date scheduled

Nov 16, 2009

Earlier today, Kathy of Dr. Syn's office called and asked me if I could have the surgery on Dec 7.  I need to save up the money to pay for the week in the hotel I will need for the first week after surgery.  (Dr. Syn's patients are generally released 23 to 24 hours after surgery on average and he wants them in the local area for the first week in case something goes wrong.)  Because of the issue with the hotel, I have scheduled for Dec 14.  I have to go to Lubbock (300+ miles away) on Dec 2nd for pre-surgical testing, admission and meeting with Dr. Syn.

I am wanting to get this over and done with, but part of me is very scared.
