The 200's have arrived!!
Well its official, I AM IN THE 200'S FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PROBABLY MY JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL!!! It was nice to get on the scale at the gym this morning and only have to slide the big weight to 250, the the little one to 48, it sure beats having to slide to 300!! SO my "unofficial" weight is 298 today, wont get the next "official" number until mid June when I go see Dr. Roye again, Hopefully by then I will be close to the goal I have set of 250, its still alot to go, especially with 2 vacations planned, but I am sure I can get there, if not by that visit, shortly thereafter.
I just have to say to anyone out there that is thinking about WLS, it is a HUGE decision to make, but it is SOOOO worth it. It is very hard work, but the tool allows you to be able to make it work. I have lost 116 pounds since May 2009 and 100 pounds since October 15, 2009. Like I said above, I still have a ways to go, as my goal is 250, but I dont plan on stopping there. This surgery has allowed me to regain my life so to speak. I am able to go to the gym and not have to leave after 15 minutes b/c I cant breath or am to tired to continue. I can wear a seatbelt in the car the way it is suppose to be worn, instead of putting the chest strap behind my back. The steering whel doesnt touch my stomach anymore when I am driving. I can stand for long periods of time and walk a good distance and not have to worry about not being able to walk later that day or the next. And even more important than all those, it has allowed me to take an EMT class! Thats somethinng that I would have never been able to do when I was 400 pounds! SO has this been one of the best decisions I have ever made? ABSOLUTELY!!! The only decision that was better was asking my wife to marry me, she has been my biggest support through this whole process. SO once again, anyone considering WLS, do your research, ask your questions and make sure that you are prepared for the life changes that it will bring. As long as you do that and are well informed, you will do great!!
