VBG to DS 17 month update... I am rocking this thang!!!
i AM OFFICIALLY IN ONE-DERVILLE.......I am here to stay. 1/29/09 I weighed 354lbs and I had been saddled with a VBG that had failed me for 24 years!!!!! 24 years of foamies and barfing and no steak!!!!! How did i survive. ?It is amazing what we can get used to. 17 months later my DS revision has succeeded and I weigh 191 lbs. I have lost 163 lbs. I weigh less than what I weighed in high school.. My surgeon did a ventral hernia repair on me early this month and he chopped off a bunch of lower belly skin while he had me under. I just love him. I already had a scar from my VBG so the scar is of no consequence to me. I lost my belly button in the process but all it was to me was another place to keep clean. I checked my shopping list and "bikini" was no where to be found so I will do just fine without it. I am so Happy!!!!!
Peace MZ JOJO *******
