My weight loss journey's final stage :)
May 06, 2010
I haven't been on this website in forever! There are so many things I want to say and I don't know where to begin...Since the last time I posted I have gotten divorced. Someone once told me "Gastric Bypass will make a good marriage better and a bad marriage worse." That statement was true in my case. I realized after being a year out from surgery that I had settled because I didn't think I could do any better. I am so much happier now! Me and my beautiful little girls moved out 2 years ago and have been doing really well.I have lost 213lbs and feel great! I exercise a lot and recently had to have my gall bladder taken out. The surgeon told me a lot of gastric bypass patients have to have their gall bladders taken out. I am now embarking on my final stage of my weight loss journey. June 16, 2010 I will undergo a full abdominoplasty to remove all of the skin that hangs from my belly. I can't tell you how frustrating it is too lose SO much weight and still look fat due to skin! I am very excited but nervous at the same time. I don't want to die of course. I have two little girls and to leave them without a mother is heartbreaking to think about. :( I have a very good surgeon and I have faith in God that I am going to come out of this surgery and have no complications at all. Once this surgery is done I know that I will look as thin as I feel I should. I am bony every where but my stomach.
Life has a great way of working out. I would have never guessed the day I had gastric bypass would change my life so much. The emotional changes alone are scary to think about. I am not the same person I was three years ago but I wouldn't go back to who I was for anything!
