Okay, so I'm out of the gate, off and running.  (well, walking is more like it!)  but I'm out of the gate!   It's been 3 weeks since my miracle of miracles--the surgery that saved my life!  On October 27, 2008 I had the Sleeve done and my life has not been the same since.  The first week was a bit rough.  I can handle pain because I've lived most of my life in some degree of pain.   But three days post op I developed fever and that scared me.  My insurance did not cover my surgury and I knew I was in for a battle if I developed any complications so I called for prayer and placed myself in the loving arms of Jesus and my hubby continued to care for me so beautifully.  By Monday, I felt like myself again and things have looked better and better each day since.  The first week I lost 20#!  I was amazed.  On my three week anniversary, I was down 27# .  My family and friends are amazed and are so supportive.  The great news in all of this is my hubby has lost 15# and my son has lost 6#!  My dog even looks slimmer!  We are all trying to change some very bad habits.  It is amazing!  I am so grateful!  I'm reminded of a scripture--LIFE AND DEATH ARE BEFORE YOU, CHOOSE LIFE.  I'm so glad I chose life!  Marie
