2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!!!!
4-22-05 Happy Birthday to me!!!! Today is my 2 year anniversary from my surgery! I have a very good life, now! I can mascarade as normal. When people look at me, they would never imagine that I used to be morbidly obese. I don't feel compelled to tell everyone about my gastric bypass surgery. However, Mon. I was in Immediate Care for my pneumonia & I did feel compelled to tell an obese young lady my story. I am not ashamed. I am quite proud of the decision that I made to have this life changing surgery. Thank you Dr. Roe!!!! I am maintaining a 106 pound weight loss. Sometimes, even more! I wear mediums & larges. Mostly size 12's & some 14's. I have several things in size 9 that fit me well. My abdominoplasty & liposuction have really brought my SEXY figure back out! I still want to have the breast reduction. It would appear that I will have to pay out of pocket for it. That sucks. My transformation would defiantly be complete after that! When I look at myself, now, the chest is the only thing that still makes me feel big.... I am an attractive normal sized woman now, & dang proud! Life is good. Stressful & probably always will be. But, very doable!!!! I would have this surgery, again, tomorrow if I needed to. It has given me a full life back. Not just a life consumed with eating. But, a full, active life. So, on this day of reflection, I am so very grateful... To God, Dr. Roe, my daughter, my family & friends for all of the love & support that I have been given along this journey. Thank you!
