Post Plastic Surgery Update

Feb 14, 2011

It's been a long time since I've updated this blog...time just seems to pass by so quickly. It's almost 4 years since my VSG, and over 2 years since my DS. I have 65 pounds till goal. On January 5th, I had a panniculectomy which removed 43 pounds of tissue from my stomach and hips. I'm still recovering from that surgery and have to wear a wound vac for a few more weeks, but to say I look different is an understatement. I feel like a new man and with some more work and exercise, I hope to hit my goal by this summer.

I went to Alaska last September for 2 weeks. A cruise through the inside passage and then a land tour for 3 days. We then went to San Francisco for a few days to visit friends. I could not have traveled before my surgeries and it warms my heart that I  can now fit in an airplane seat with a normal seatbelt and go where I want without worrying about fitting into a seat. I look forward to more travel in the months and years ahead.

When I reach goal, I would have lost almost 400 pounds. I was on the edge of losing my life and now I'm so close to my goal. I'm recovered my health and look forward to what my future has in store for me.

The next time I update this blog will be when I reach goal. And what a moment that will be. I'm so grateful for my VSG and DS which has helped me reach this point.
