2 years ago....
Hi all,
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Pam, and 2 years ago tomorrow my life changed forever ~ for the better! I can't tell you how much this surgery has changed my life. I feel FANTASTIC! I have Lost about 130 lbs. I no longer have pain in my knees, ankles, feet... I no longer gasp for breath walking across the parking lot to work or walking the stairs at home and work. I no longer feel like a walking time bomb for the heart disease that's killed so many of my relatives at early age to hit me. I don't have type II diabetes and hopefully never will - my doctor kept warning me that I was prediabetic. I have new found confidence - I don't hesitate to go anywhere anymore. I don't hide from cameras anymore (still don't love having my photo taken but I can do it) - my kids will actually have photos with their mother in them some day now long after I'm gone. I love to shop for new clothes, not because I need to get something that fits because I've gained weight, but because I like how my new clothes look on me!
Negatives? Well - none that I can think of... I love my new life!!!
I used to post here quite often, but since facebook came along, I'm a true addict there! Please feel free to add me as a friend, but please mention you know me from OH as I am careful not to add people I don't know. My FB user Id is [email protected]
I wish you all a wonderful journey...
Pam
