7 years post op
Jun 04, 2009
It has been 7 years now since i had my wls. It seems like a lifetime ago, but when i think i can remember the whole pre op and post op journey of the weightloss.I have gained some weight, due to the Lyrica i take for my fibromyalgia (dx'd this year) I am not happy about it at all. I havent been able to be active in the last year. I was injured while driving the truck (tractor trailer). I I went from being a very active person so hardly being able to walk.
Anyway, i am getting better slowly. This damn Fibro kicks my butt though. I recently went to a rhuematologist and he told me i was severely dificient in vit D, i have to start taking prescription strength vit d. I take it 2 x a week for 12 weeks, this also causes pain and fatigue...oh ya, lets not forget thats the reason why i had 10 teeth break off at the gum. I had stopped taking my vits for a few years. stupid stupid. I dont advise anyone to do this. I started them back a month ago. I am due for a iron infusion, my ferratin level is low.
On the homefront. I am here living with my cat jody. She keeps me company. Steven and i have separated, he lives about an hour away. I will be moving in with my daughter brittany and her family, (kenny and my grand daughters.). It will help me and i will be able to watch the kids while they work. I miss the babies so much, britt also.
I have been working hard on getting my strength back. I am using only my cane now, no walker. I still dont regret this surgery. It gave me a life back, now i have to fight to get it back again physically. i WILL do it
