Today is a year from my initial surgery. I have had mixed feelings today though. I am happy I did this surgery but this date isn't really a pleasant one for me. I have a hard time forgetting how sick I was.
I was quite sad today. I do remember what happened to me right after my initial surgery and how sick I was. I remember it all like it was yesturday. I know this sounds horrible, but I think I know what it feels like to die.
On the other hand, I am very happy that I decided to have RNY and how I know I will be happy and healthy in the long run. My asthma has gotten soooo much better, it is amazing. I can actually move around w/out my ankles and knees feeling like they were going to fall off. I can keep up with my son now which I could never do before. I know for a fact I will never go back to eating a certain way ever again!
I wish this all could have been easier for me but it does seem like it is going in a very good direction for me. I am so happy that I am getting much better and I can slowly start to move on. Wheeee!! Take care.

Tavia,
Happy Anniversary! I think the best think to do is remember how much better you are a year later, than how sick you were. Just think how much longer you will be around because of the change you made. I was very fortunate not to have any problems with the surgery.
Congratulations on many more anniversaries, and a long healthy, happy life.

I am sorry you had to go through all you had to but remember God gives us only what he thinks we can handle.

YOu have been such a support for me and everyone you have come in contact with. I am lucky to have had you as my angel. Thank you. Its all good stuff from now on. Talk to you soon...LisaMarie

Tavia,
It's now Friday - your anniversary date is over and you are doing so much better. It's onwards and upwards (whatever that really means). You are such an inspiration to me and to everyone else here on the boards. You always seem to have such a positive attitude even though you have suffered so much.
Keep on smiling and remember to take one day at a time.
Thanks for all you do to keep us on track.

Hey Sunshine... tried to call you yesterday for your anniversay, but no answer. I left a message though. Oh well, no big deal. Just want to tell you how happy I am for you. I can understand how you could have mixed emotions about the day, but I see you are looking at the positives and I'm sure there are going to be alot more of those now that your problem has fixed.
Enjoy life. You deserve it.
Joanne
P.S. I'll try to call you later today.
