On the Losing Side

My surgery was on 3.8.2007, and everything was a success. I am now on the losing end of the spectrum. Admittedly, the first few days of the surgery were miserable for me. There was a good amount of pain, nausea, and anger at myself for what I felt was unnecessary pain and suffering that I put myself through. Of course, those sentiments have evaporated and have been replaced with joy and peace, that I made a positive decision to change my life. It's great that there is a message board for gays, lesbians, transgendered, and bisexual people. It's good for people of a like mentality or who have similarities to get together to talk about the situations or issues that bog us down or lift us up. I am thankful for it and thankful for all of you. Here's to a new life for me. It's about time, don't you think?

Yes, the first few days can SUCK....but the good thing is that it just keeps getting better from there. I"m pleased you have made it through safe and sound. Welcome to the board. There are some very fun people here and I don't post nearly as much as I should, but I'm always reading! Welcome! Ken

Welcome Xavier! Glad you stopped by and joined the room. I remember having a few of those "what the hell did I do????" moments early on but as that weight just pours off I think you're gonna love what you did!! Glad you here with us! Steve

Hey Xavier! Congrats on your surgery and welcome to the board! Rachelle

CONGRATULATIONS Xavier (also the first name of my eldest nephew). I'm happy everyday that I had the surgery. I'm extremely happy to be losing this second person that has been tagging along with me for the past few decades. Sorry to hear you are having pain -- purchase the liquid Tylenol and that will help with the pain -- it works -- only flavor is cherry --hate cherry. Yes, we are definitely starting a new life and we deserve it -- I'm 3 weeks out today. Now if only I'd have won that huge lottery -- I'd be sitting some place being pampered.
