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!
