Topic: It's Been 6 Months!!!!!
Hi everyonw!!!! I had surgery 12/23/02 and I weighed 340. today, I weigh 240 and my life is truly a life.My clkothes were a size 30 1/2, and nowI"m in size 20W and some 18W's. Energy level got real low about 3 1/2 weeks ago, and the doc put me on and iron supplement. I feel much better, and i asked him if I could take Sea Silver. It's a liquid vitamin supplement that I heard about, and you can find out more about it if you go to www.seasilver.com It has made a differnce in my life and I went back to work 5 days ago after being off on Long Term Disability. Can you beleive that. I drive the bus for our city. It was difficult the first few day, but everyday it's getting better. I refused to go out like that. Being in a whellchair the rest of my life. I wish I had known about this surgery 20 years ago. My husband and I took 7 of our 11 grandchildren to SixFlagg in Atlanta in April. I just cryed because I had not been able to fit in the roller coasters and other rides in over 30 years!!!!! I rode my but off that day, and guess what? I don't need an extention in the airplane anymore. Thanks to all of you for your support. Leslie in Indiana
Topic: Feeling Great
I had surgery on December 6,2002 and I've lost 87 lbs. It seems strange from being the largest in the immediate family to the middle of the pact. Being a middle person isn't as bad as some say it is. For years I was so large that I never went anywhere and if we did go on vacations I would just sit and watch.. Look out this year. We have scheduled a week of fun in the sun in Orange Beach. My daughter has talked me into buyig a swimsuit. Still not real thrilled at how I look in it but the look on my families face was priceless. Have not had any medical problems and would do it all over again. Thank you Dr. Miles. You are a God Send.....
Topic: IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS
HI EVERYONE;;;;;;;;I HAD MY SURGERY SIX MONTHS AGO, AND HAVE LOST 70 POUNDS. I NEVER DREAMED HOW GOOD I WOULD FEEL; ALTHOUGH I STILL WEIGH 230 POUNDS; I FEEL AS THOUGH I WEIGY 130. I LOOK BETTER, FEEL BETTER, MY CLOTHES STARTED FALLING OFF. I FOUND A NEEDY HEAVY FRIEND WHO WAS THRILLED TO ACCEPT MY LARGER CLOTHES. IT HAS NOT BEEN HARD AT ALL; I EXERCIZE WHEN I CAN, WHICH CONSISTS OF WALKING; THAT IS ALL I DO AND CANT DO MUCH BECAUSE OF A BAD HIP; BUT DO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EACH OUTING AS "EXERCIZE". I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE AND FEELING SO GOOD; I TURNED 60 YEARS OLD YESTERDAY, AND IT WAS MY BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT THAT I EVER GAVE MYSELF. GO FOR IT.................
