Where were you 3 years ago today??

I know exactly where Vicki V and I were - we were recovering from RNY surgery!!  3 years ago today!!!

She had hers in Texas and I had mine in Alabama - hers was in the a.m. and mine was late afternoon.

I can only say to anyone sitting on the fence, my one and ONLY regret was I did not do this sooner.  On the other hand, I wasn't ready for it any sooner!!!

CONGRATS to my Surgery Twin, Vicki V!!!!!  I loved spending time with you this weekend!!  We need to do that again MWAH!

 3 years ago today I was still living in Tennessee, not thinking I would ever get to have WLS, and trying to find hay enough to feed 2 horses through the winter. By late November things had changed. Hubby's job took us to Houston, I sold the horses and horse trailer, and moved our daughter into the house there to get her away from her abusive husband and in-laws, and to keep our place up for us. My life change didn't occur until almost 6 months later. Hubby took his bonus money and paid cash for Dr. Spivak!! I never would have thought my life could change so much, so fast, and so much better! Now, I live with Hubby in Singapore for the next several months, that same daughter lives in our house in Richmond now with her fiance and baby, my critters are down to one magnificent German Shepherd who is staying at my friend's kennel, and life is pretty good. 

Happy Anniversary to two very successful women that I'm happy to know.

Congrats ladies!

Hugs,

3 yrs ago I was still getting used to my bypass and getting ready to leave for Alaska

Congrats Terry and Roomie !!!!

Three years ago I was also MO, failing at another diet and watching my friends at work who were 3 years out RNY just *waiting* for something to happen to them to convince me NOT to do it.  It didn't happen, so eventually I got over my and decided to have the surgery.  Best decision I have ever made, too.

Thanks for being the way-showers for the rest of us!

 I was just 6 weeks out from my surgery, and flew to San Antonio for my first OH event ..  A real 3-day extravaganza w. even the big man himself present.       Got to meet Ramon and Yvonne there for the first time. 

  My long-time VBG friends Judy and Don from Bandera  met me at the S.A. airport (fun reunion!) and we all went to the meet & greet at the event together, along with two of their weiner dogs.  

  That reminds me:   we haven't had an update on Judy's status in quite some time.   I'm going to write her niece now and see if she has heard anything.   

Happy Surgiversary!!!

Three years ago today, I was submitting my paperwork to another Doctor to send in for my RNY! Fortunately that all disappeared and I found Arlington Surgical group who has stood by me has  been so instrumental in my outcome!!
