That sounds about right when they say "new normal."  I am going to my internist this morning.  I'm still pretty uptight about alot of things.  I have put on a few pounds, and I definitely don't want to continue THAT trend!   You take care, Linda.  God bless you too. Peg  :angel:

Who is doing the WLS? I think I would ask the DR or his nurses. How did the Biopsy go? By the way I am from Mt Ulla. Noticed you are from Mooresville so just thought I would ask. I had my surgery on April 16th by Dr Pirilleo in Concord.

Thanks, Linda.  How are you doing? Peg  :angel:

  It has been THREE years since my first surgery, and I'm still here! I thank God every day for another day. Each one is a bonus. I am well. I have color in my face and my lips again. What a blessing! I had my yearly CAT scan last week along with blood work etc. My very kind doctor called the following day to tell me that everything checked out fine. Whew! What a relief! I had been feeling pretty tense about this upcoming anniversary...especially since I knew I would need to once again have a CAT scan to make sure that the stomach cancer had not returned. Now I can relax and get back to "normal" living. There are alot of adjustments to make after surgery, and even three years later, I still am aware of some of them. I realize that my surgery was pretty extreme due to having to have all of my stomach removed during my second surgery, but it also is amazing how much the body can adapt. I am so grateful. My "TWO-YEAR anniversary" for my second surgery will be August 12th. It is pretty wonderful to now be measuring the time in years instead of months. I am also grateful to this OH website. I haven't been posting for several months because I am no longer "new" to the process. However, this is an extremely valuable website. I still have it listed in my favorites, and I always know that I can come back here for encouragement/information/sharing. God bless each of you on your journey.
