Almost one year later!!
As I write this I can hardly beleive that it's nearly been a year since I was planning and prepairing for my upcomming surgery. My entire life has done a full 180 since then. Within the last 12 months I have undergone RNY, lost 100lbs, Had a tummy tuck, Cut off all my hair, Met the man of my dreams, and in exactly 10 days I will marry that man. I then have this crazy plan to quit the job that has basicly defined me for the last 4 years and go back to college to get that nursing degree I've dreamed about for so long. Once i'm done with school I really hope I can go into Bariatrics in some capacity...I really feel the need to give back to this field that I feel has totally reformed my life. In this last year I have learned so much about myself, who I am, and who I want to be...I wanted to thank each one of my OH friends and I will try to start logging on more often! I love you guys!
Congratulations girl!!! That is awesome! I know that it made all the difference in the world having nurses that had "been there and done that" care for me after my WLS. I think more bariatric patients just go into the field because it really does make a difference for people to know that you understand because you have been there.
