Happy Surgiversary to ME!
· Today is a very special day for me. Today is my surgiversary. Six years ago this morning, I took the first step into the rest of my life. I had weight loss surgery, more specifically, Gastric Bypass – RNY. I have lost ½ of my original weight! While I have put on 25-30 pounds this year, which is all I have put back on. I am grateful to my surgeon, Dr. Dyer, and my host of friends who have been there through thick and thin. I am most grateful to my FAMILY – without them, I would never had made it this far.
I am often asked if I would do this again or if I have any regrets. The answer is YES! My only regret is not exercising after surgery, and not keeping it up when I did start after plastics. Quite frankly, I would not be alive today – ready to celebrate my big 5 0 if were not for this surgery. I am more confident in my skin then before, I have a job that I love, and I am ALIVE to see my husband follow his dream and watch my son grow into the young man he is today. I thank God for each and every day now – knowing that they are truly a gift from God!
With all of this said and done – I love my life – my own personal roller coaster, the ups and downs that being healthy bring me – wouldn’t trade it for the world!
HAPPY SURGIVERSARY to ME!
