1 YEAR TODAY

Yes, i do think back of where i would be without having the surgery. i would be bigger from eating all the time. Depressed, I stayed swollen all of the time. My feet hurt all the time (no matter what shoes i wore). My liver would be in worse condition, my heart and I would still be on all those medicines and I still wouldnt be having a regular monthly ( I would go months, even a year without having one unless I got provera from the doctor). I would do it all over again. I dont exercise (I need to start). But I do work a second job as a waitress and there is no way before my surgery I could stay on my feet and hustle like I do now at that job. For anyone *****ads this the surgery will change your life. Anyone who has in the back of their mind (well I might die). My decision was (if I dont have it I'll die anyway, but I wont go before God intends for me to) Yes I was scared but I made that decision on my own and I was OK with it. For any of you that haven't had this surgery and read this (your quality of life will be so much better).
