1 Year Check In!
Exactly one year ago today, I walked into a hospital in Birmingham, AL alone in order to undergo gastric bypass surgery. It all happened so fast - I made the decision to go by myself because it was something that I needed to do for ME. The nurses thought I was crazy, but I made it. In post-op and after recovery, I told my surgeon 'Let's get this party started because I have a hair appointment next Tuesday, and I HAVE to get my hair done EVERY week cuz Im a diva!" He says he will never forget that. The past year has been a great blessing and today I feel.....VERY blessed. I no longer have diabetes or snore (lol). I have lost 130 lbs to date - I may not be where I want to be, but I damn sure ain't where I was! =)
So today, I will take the time to reflect on this past year and look forward to the future. I have been given two tools - the surgery and OH. I am grateful for all of the wonderful thoughts of encouragement that I have received here, as well as the conversations with fellow post-ops. Today is my birthday - Happy Surgiversary to ME!!! *tears*
Change is good....-
