update to life, I guess.

Jun 21, 2011

Wow, it's been since last summer.  Funny how when you get to a 'normal' weight and lead a 'normal' life you tend to not think about being morbidly obese.
Let's see....since last August I had the hernia repair.  I've been working hard.  My boyfriend and I bought a place together. 
I'm over 2 years out, and can eat whatever I please.  Only get diarrhea when I eat sugar, no dumping.  So...I'm having to REALLY be careful now.  I see how the weight can creep back on.

Been having a lot of abdominal symptoms and pain, and guess what?  Another hernia, and the mesh moved off the previous hernia repair.  So July 6th is my date to get it all fixed, and a panni to boot- the surgeon wants that excess skin out of the way.  It isn't a fancy cosmetic surgery- I won't even have a belly button when it's done.

I'm nervous about it.  When I had the RNY, it was the hardest, most painful thing I'd ever done, but was always worth it.  I was excited to do it, even at my worst.

I think it's the thought of going through all of that surgery nonsense again...the coughing, the iv sticks, the drains, no showers...all of that stuff, including pain.  But my gut hurts now, so what's the difference, right?
