Been a really hard year

I havent posted in a very long time. I have lost 219 pounds since surgery on Feb 11, 2004. I have been really depressed since the TT on Nov 2004 and relized that my 11 year marriage was a shame. I filed for divorce and it has been a very grief filled time in my life. But I need some peace in my life. I am learning I do not need to settle and enable anyone. How WLS works on those self esteem issues. I know it will get better but boy I wish I could blink this holiday away. I wish you all a good week and I am going to try to visit more often. take care Lisa

Lisa, just think in a few days you will blink and it will be over. Hang in there! I sending you from rainy California. Happy Thursday! Shirley

just stay positive and dont be afraid to post on here when you need someone to talk to you!! happy holidays! sarah

Lisa, Please come back more often. There are many supportive people here. There are MANY, MANY positives with the surgeries but the journey can have problems. Congratulations on your awesome weight loss. WOW. Mary

Lisa, Congrats on your weight loss I too have lost alot of weight 220 pounds. I also need to have a Tummy Tuck but I heard that it hurts really bad worse than the gastric bypass. How was it and how did you heal? I have rash issues and have been to the doctor for treatment, hope my insurance will cover it. Legs are so grose and undrearms UGH.. I am sorry that your marriage is over.. I don't know what happend but if you will be happy that's what counts. I agree I hope the holidays are over soon, due to my mothers death. Anyway Best Wishes and Healthy New Year, Jill

Tummy tuck was aweful but well worth it. Alot harder than the bypass but I think that it is because I was home 24hours later with the TT so I didnt have that special morphine drip. I had to pay out of pocket but again worth it. Thanks for responding to my email and I hope you survived the holidays as I did. 2006 will be better take care
