UPDATE

Oct 22, 2013

10/22/2013- IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I UPDATED..I HAD A HERNIA AND I RECENTLY HAD MY HERNIA REPAIR AND ALSO I HAD A PANNI (LOOSE SKIN ON BELLY REMOVED) ON 9/27/2013..I AM RECOVERING SLOWLY--BUT SURELY.. THE PLASTIC SURGEON DEEMED IT MEDICALLY NECESSARY FOR ME TO GET MY SKIN REMOVED FROM MY BELLY AND HE TOOK OFF 9 LBS OF LOOSE SKIN FROM MY BELLY.. WOW..  I ALSO HAVE LOST 1 MORE LB SINCE THAT SURGERY ON TOP OF THE 9 LBS OF COURSE.. MY BMI IS AT 34 AND I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 224 LBS.. I AM TRYING TO GET TO MY GOAL OF 198.. BUT IF I DO NOT GET THERE I AM SO HAPPY I AM WHERE I AM AND NOT WHERE I USED TO BE.. I LOVE OBESITYHELP.COM AND IT IS SO HELPFUL STIL TO ME AS IT WAS WHEN I FIRST STARTED RESEARCHING WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. IT IS TRULY A JOURNEY AND I HAVE COME TO CALL IT AN "ADVENTURE" AS I HAVE HAD TO HAVE 2 SURGERIES SINCE MY RNY TO CORRECT COMPLICATIONS..BUT I HAVE EXCEPTED THAT IT IS PART OF IT ALL.. SOME PEOPLE ARE BLESSED WITH NOT HAVING ANY COMPLICATIONS AT ALL--BUT MOST OF US HAVE SOMETHING.. I TAKE THINGS ONE DAY AT A TIME.. I REGRET BEING SO FAT FOR SO LONG AS THE DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS ARE PERMANENT FOR ME AND I LIVE IN CHRONIC PAIN EACH DAY.. BUT THE LORD GETS ME THRU IT ALL AND I AM 51 NOW AND IF I DID NOT HAVE MY RNY I WOULD HAVE DIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.. SO IT HAS BEEN 6 1/2 YRS SINCE MY RNY AND I AM SO GLAD THAT I MADE THAT HAD DECISION TO HAVE THE SURGERY.. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ON YOUR ADVENTURES AND REMEMBER YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!  SUSIE SMITH FROM NE PA
