One Year Surgiversary

Today is my one year surgiversary and I can't beleive it went so fast. I think I am one of the last people to have surgery in the month. Before my surgery I weighted 345 lbs. As of this morning, I weight 180lbs. I can't beleive that 165 lbs are gone (hopefully) forever. What a difference a year makes in your life when all that extra weight has disappeared. It really is amazing. I do get aggravated with people who tell me I took the "easy" way out. I don't know about you guys, but for me, there was nothing easy about this process. It really is hard, especially if you have complications. For example, today I am going for a CT scan because I have horrible abdominal pain and becuase my brain and my intestines are no longer communicating. I just want to say thank you for everyone's support and posts on here. It would have been difficult to get through this without everyone. Best of luck to all of us in the coming year and the rest of our new lives!!!!

Kimberly, Congrats on your surgiversary and your success this past year. I hope your CT scan finds out the reason for your pain and helps you resolve it. Please let us know how you're doing!! Hugs, Inky
