happy surgiversary to me!!!

Nov 04, 2012

I know I'm a couple days late... But better late than never. Well, I must say that this past yr has been a true life changing and learning experience! People have asked me often if I had to do it again would I... Honestly, with everything I've experienced I'm not sure if i would. Yes, I have had weight loss success. Yes, I have gotten lots of compliments. Yes, I can see a huge difference in my lifestyle. But there have also been changes and issues that may have been avoided had I not had weight loss surgery. My weight loss has revealed medical issues that were being attributed to my weight... Fibromyalgia and lupus. I know take a crap load of meds that i wasn't on pre surgery... I can't take my all reliable ibuprophen, this change has been the biggest problem for me as I have widespread pain, and am now on narcotics... I almost died 3times,post op... I try to tell those who ask don't take my situation as the rule... Everyone's situation is different. I'm just glad I did actually make it to my SURGIVERSARY and lost the weight I was aiming for. My actual goal weight is still out of reach right at this moment, but I know i have to this in my own time. To all those reading this, I wish you a safe and pleasant journey on your weight loss... It's not always as easy as it looks...
