My two year anniversary, too

Me, too, me, too! I just celebrated my two year anniversary last Friday. I was supposed to have my appt with my surgeon, but they had to cancel and I had it yesterday. I am doing really well and he is very pleased with me. I lost 195 lbs and have been maintaining 130 lbs. I had my LBL and brachioplasty in Jan and lost the last 10 lbs after that. On a personal level, things have been chaotic the past few weeks. My son just made his final college decison the same week that my mother was diagnosed with dementia. She took off from my brother's house in the middle of the night because she didn't know where she was, so she now needs someone with her all the time. My siblings and I have been working on all the legal and financial affairs with my mother so we can determine long and short term needs on her behalf. My sister is now in the process of her 6 month period before surgery. She is going through the same surgeon and hospital as I did. I am very excited for her. Hope everyone else is doing well. Take care, Sue

Hi Sue, HAPPY 2nd SURGIVERSARY! WOW! 195LBS GONE FOREVER! Sorry about your mom, I hope you get things all situated for her soon. It is wonderful that you and your sibblings are working together on this stressful matter. I hope I can say the same thing after my PS this summer. I would be estatic if I lost another ten pounds. Did you do anything different after surgery to lose the 10 pounds? I hope things all go well for your sister, she is lucky to have someone close to her as a source of support and a mentor. Take care Sher

Thank you, Sher. I hope things level out a bit. My brother and sister in law are a godsend in volunteering to have her live with them. I didn't really do anything after the PS that I didn't do before. My PS said they took off about 8 lbs of skin with the surgery. Everyone including me, thought it was a lot more than that. So I basically lost the skin and 2 lbs extra. My sister has a few more months to go and I think she is hoping for October for her surgery. She has the 6 months to go through and she is doing all her tests (sleep apnea, etc). I wish you well and good luck with your PS. When are you scheduled? Take care, Sue

WOW 195 lbs. How amazing is that? I hope things slow down for you. You will be such a big help to your sister. Shes lucky she has you. Take care and stay in touch
