9 years out, and still small.......

Aug 02, 2011

Wow!!  It's been 9 years since my original gastric bybass in 2002.  I started gaining weight back so had a lap band revision in 2007.   It's been a struggle, but I have managed to get to 175 and holding.   Of course we're never satisfied with where we are and always want to reach that magic number,  but 9 years ago I was 328 lbs!! 

I feel great!!!  I look magnificent!!!  I'm healthier than I've ever been!!!  I'll be 50 this year, but don't look it at all.   I get a kick out of seeing people I knew in my fat days.   They can't believe it 's me!  I get compliments all the time from men and women.   It's kind of embarrassing!!  Some people are haters.   They always have something negative to say.  I think they are just jealous so I brush off their comments and don't hang around them.   

I am finally having my tummy tuck Aug 24.  This has been a dream of mine for years.   I am sooooo  excited!!!!   No more wearing girdles, no more having to lift it up to wipe, no more wetness and rashes, no more jiggling when I run.  No more, no more, no more!!!!   Please say a prayer for my surgery to be safe and successful.......  

I've posted some pictures so be sure to check them out.  I'll definitely post before and after tummy tuck pictures.....

I am truly grateful for weigh loss surgery.  It has changed my life tremendously for the better.  When I see super obese people, I can relate to their struggle, and I say a little prayer for them that they find a way to be healthy. That's what it's all about.  Being healthy and quality of life.   Your quality of life improves greatly with weight loss.  I can do so much more and I don't take it for granted.  

God Bless,
Deneen
