August 29, 2002

Hi Everyone! My name is Krissy Jordan and I had my surgery on August 29th, 2002 (I was 17, now 18). My original date was set for August 9th, then rescheduled for August 20th, then finally happened on August 29th. My journey was very difficult in the beginning. I had several complications, one of which needed surgery, another needing an invasive procedure, and extended my hospital stay by two weeks. I'm having some "undiagnosable" health problems, and we're not sure if it's related to the surgery. However, even after going through it all, I'd still do it in a heartbeat. I've lost 122 pounds and have about 8-13 more until goal.
