3/25 is my re-birthday!

Mar 25, 2011

During the past year my life has changed incredibly. I no longer have sleep apnea or high blood pressure and most importantly - my diabetes is gone, too. I have lost 125 pounds (which is more than 100% of my excess weight)- 8 pant sizes and 4 top sizes! 

I have been very fortunate to have had no complications, and I have been working my butt off (literally!) Today I weigh 166 (now do the math...166+125= OMG!) and my blood pressure was 112/66!!  The dr. said it was like that of a teenager!  Dr. Daniel Gagne of West Penn Bariatric Surgery Center was the surgeon who saved my life.  

Thanks to everyone who has supported me through my weight-loss journey.  Without those of you  who gave me the love and strength and motivation I needed to stay focused on doing what I needed to do...I would have had a much more difficult time.  It has been a hell of a year - and one I will always remember as the year I got my life back!  I feel reborn into a healthier me..and I want to stay that way. 

Happy re-birthday to me!!
