New To ND and 2 year surgiversary
Hello all!
Finally got moved up here from FL a few weeks ago, and have been freezing ever since. I guess I will take it over my hubby being unemployed. I am now in the process of finding a job. Looking back at the last 2 years, I am still having wow moments, and still no regrets about the surgery despite my initial issues. I have lost 130 pounds, and maintained it for 15 months now. I lost 10 pounds more that my "goal", and have surpassed my goal pants size. In fact, I went from never being able to find big enough clothes at stores, to having problems finding the smaller sizes now. I have gotten rid of all of my comorbidities now, and I feel great.
For all of you who are considering surgery, JUST DO IT! For those who have had surgery, keep up the great work. Hoping to meet more North Dakotans now that I am here. Still need to find a Dr. to follow my yearly labs, I am due again, but need to wait until next month when insurance will kick in .

Thanks Kelly and Becky. I am living in Bismarck. I had to buy new clothes when I got here. I am so cold, have been cold since surgery, but seriously? 45 in June? lol At least all the warm clothes are on clearance. Now I just need to find a coat somewhere. I guess that gives me an excuse to garage sale.
Hi Nicole and welcome to the board and to North Dakota. I am fast approaching my 2 year surgiversary, so we are very close with that.
I have no regrets for my surgery either. You look great!
Yes, the being cold is a struggle, even for me who has lived here all my life. I can about imagine what it feels like coming from Florida. I am told that the cold does get better after 3-4 years, but so far I've not seen any improvement. I freeze from the inside out. I have bought some very cute summer clothes, but I think I won't be able to wear them. Of course, once the temperature warms up, maybe....but then still I am dealing with working in an air conditioned building and freezing. Oh well, it beats the alternative - I could have stayed heavy and warm!
