I had my surgery on November 26, 2007. 

That was 5 years ago.  WOW!! 5 years, hard to believe.  My surgery was easy.  I never ever have had one complication from day one.  I've been vitamin compliant consistently.  I will say I never made it to goal.  Yup, I'm one of those.  Do I feel upset because of this?  Sometimes.  Am thankful that I was able to have surgery?  Always!

Year 1 and 2, lost most of the weight then.  Stayed true to the rules.

Year 3, I started to gain some weight.  My intestines must have figured me out and rerouted my absorption ability.  I will end up working on weight gain for 1 1/2 years.  As always, easy to gain, hard to lose.

Year 4, I had low iron, had an infusion and best of all had plastic surgery!  Iron level had maintained over a year now.

Year 5, has started off with a bang!  I just got my labs back and my entire blood work came back in NORMAL range.  Consistency pays off!  I have 6 pounds to lose to get back from that year 3 weight gain.

While I might not add to my blog too much anymore, I am on OH almost daily.  It helps to keep me grounded by keeping the surgery in the front of my mind.  I never want to forget.  I also weigh myself daily.  It helps with accountability.  Tight pants are not cool!

Happy Holidays!!

I just received the call from scheduling and Aetna approved my Panni!!
I am super excited now!!
Get my blood drawn on Oct. 4th,
pre surgery check up on Oct. 12th
Surgery on Oct. 28th!!!

As much pain as I'm prepared to have, I can't freakin' wait!!

I can't wait to...
buy shirts and not worry about the sleeves showing my wings and stomach rolls
buy pants and not have to make sure its big enough around the waist but not baggy in the legs
buy bras and not have to worry can I stuff the girls in!
I just want to feel normal and I can't wait!
