It's been a year
May 12, 2009
Actually over a year. I celebrated my bandiversary 4/24/08. I can't believe all that has happened in the past year. I have officially lost 85lbs since the date of surgery plus the 30 I lost prior to surgery. I had all my bloodwork done last month and though I still need to work on lowering my cholesterol, everything else was great. Best of all, the type 2 diabetes I was diagnosed with 5 months before my surgery is gone.I feel fantastic. Excercise was the hardest thing for me to work into my routine and honestly I didn't do too much until about 8 months post surgery. Now I take Jazzercise classes 3 x per week plus walk 3 miles on the days I don't have class. I can feel my body changing because of the exercise and it's great.
Since the weightloss I have a new confidence in almost everything I do. I no longer feel judged because of my appearance. People smile at me more and men are flirtier. I started dating and now I am in a relationship with a great guy and having lots of fun.
Thanks to everyone here for the support they have given during the past year and prior as I was deciding if this was right for me. I think it is the best $18,000 I have ever and will ever spend.
