One Year Surgeversary

 At this time one year ago I was pretty much out of it - had a hard time coming out of the anesthetic.  I have lost between 70 - 73 pounds and seem to be in a bit of a stall right now.  I know that I am not making good choices and I'm eating a lot of sider foods.  I do seem to have pretty good restriction right now.  Nathalie called and I have an appointment for May 13 at 2pm  (anyone else planning to be in Moncton then?)  and I'm not sure if I really want to have a fill.  It will be with Dr. Roy and my last experience with her was not the best.  She had a hard time finding the hole in my port  - I am hoping that was just a fluke :-( LOL. 

So my journey continues.  I still need to lose another 10 pounds to say that I am merely overweight and not obese - that would be nice but I am really quite content where I am.  I feel great and look even better HEHE! I do feel great but when it comes to looks most things are heading south - except when I walk and then there are places on my body that seems to have a mind of there own and want to take separate vacations!!! and they go in all different directions!  Oh well - no regrets.  There is no comparison between how I feel today and how I felt a year ago.  I have a life that I can enjoy with my family and friends and I DO feel great!

Hi Abby, I have an apt. on May 13th too, at 1:30pm. If you see me, come on over and say hello, my apt. is with Dr. Roy too, and she did me last time, and it took her two times. So I am hoping she gets it on the first try , cause it hurt. I wish they would use a little numbing gel. Oh well , I don't need to be such a baby, it didnt take all that long to do. Hope to see you there

If it`s any comsolation, my worst experieng locating my port was with the good Dr himself; took him about three or four times. My port is pretty easy to locate normally, but I guess everyone has an off day sometimes.

Congrats on all your accomplishments Abby. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on your surgeversary Abby!! Isn't it amazing what a difference a year makes? You have lost a lot of weight. Wow. It does indeed feel wonderful. Wishing you all the best for the next year and the more you lose (weight) the more you gain (life).

Congratulations Abby!Happy Surgiversary! You have done a great job and have come a long way. Good luck with your appt!

Congrats on your 1 year banaverary.

OMG I have an appointment on the 13th too. Do you want to travel together again? My appointment is at 2:15.  It sounds like  we are going to have a party in the Dumont. We should all go for coffee.....or shopping ....or just shoot the breeze in the waiting room.

 I would love to travel together!!!  It makes the trip so much easier - actually enjoyable.  It will be great to visit.  I have to do a pick up at Costco - Neuragen for my son's feet :-) - other than that I'm up for what ever is going!

And you know how I just hate Costco!!!! NOT!
Meet at my place around noon? That should give us lots of time.

First ... Happy Surgeversary!

Second ... Since our weekend get away was a no go, guess I will have to crash this mini party!  I will try to get there for around 130 so we can all visit some and maybe head to Costco too, lol.

I have an appointement May 13 too at 2 h 30 in fluo. I think I should have an unfill I have a hard time eating.I wonder how much he will take off. I can drink and eat purees slowly but the solid is another story. I wonder if I should ask him to remove everything  for a while and after return for a fill. Any ideas?

Lisa told me that if I go to emergency they will remove everything. Anyone ever did that?
