Happy Surgiversary to me! Xpost

A year ago today I went into the OR and had my lap RNY. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. No regrets at all. I am down -135 lbs post op and -169 lbs including my mandatory pre op weight loss. I am down 120". I've gone from a very tight 26/28 bottom and 3-4X tops to a comfortable size 10 bottoms and M tops. My size 8 pants even go on and button... but are a little too snug for comfort for daily wear, at least just yet at least. I started out this journey with severe asthma problems, waiting for my diabetic family history & gestational diabetes history to catch up with me, severe joint problems, and a horrendous case of Severe Obstructive Sleep apnea. I no longer have sleep apnea... I no longer have joint problems, I headed diabetes off at the pass! It has been a most amazing year. I will not wax poetic here but I just did on my blog if you care to read it & my entire one year's ramblings LOL. New one year picts will go up when I have somebody home to take them for me To the newbies... this journey is so worth everything you have to go through to begin your new life. Don't give up in your pursuit of health. It is the most amazing gift. Terrisa

Happy 1 Year Surgiversary, Terrisa It is so encouraging to hear how many ailments this surgery can cure or at least improve. And WOW!! You have lost so much weight...I know that you must feel like a new woman! You are so right...the health that this surgery can give us is the most amazing gift I have ever had the pleasure of receiving. ~Suz

Thank you! You know for years I was in denial about how my weight affected me etc. But once I got it... I GOT it. It's amazing what healthy feels like.

I so agree! It's been a loooongg time since I felt what healthy really was...at least since the late 80's ! Once I started putting on weight I was always the active, healthy chunky girl....what denial I was in. Then...I stopped being active and healthy and just kept the chunky part. I am so glad that chunky finally left and healthy and active came home to stay!

Woo Hoo! Congrats to you! We share a surgiversary! Is this just not the greatest thing? What a year! Katy B

Woooooot Happy Surgiversary to you!!! Anna
