Whoa! 2 year Surgiversary snuck up on me!

Sep 04, 2011

If it were not for an email from OH, I would not have noticed it's been 2 years! I haven't been on here for a long time (been on Facebook), but I would like to update people on what's happened to me.

Due to some stresses in my life, I was starting to gain a bit of weight back. Then, I started kickboxing. I LOVE KICKBOXING!!!  I just barely started on July 2 and I can already see a big difference in my body! I freaked out a little bit at first because the scale actually moved up! But then I learned that you actually can gain weight the first 3 months of serious exercise due to fat turning into muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. If I can upload the before and afters I will. It took me quite a while to find an exercise program I can stick with. Because of my condition (transverse myelitis), it's hard to find something I can do. I can not only do kickboxing (hitting a bag, not people), but the lump I use to have on my back from stress it completely GONE! My joints don't hurt or feel stressed when I do it. It's been great. I totally believe beating the bag has made all the difference in the world!

I can honestly say 2 years out that WLS is the absolute best decision I have made next to accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior, marrying my husband and having my 2 beautiful daughters! I have had no adverse reactions to the surgery other than when I am eating something I shouldn't or eating too fast.  I would recommend the Sleeve to anybody considering WLS.
