1 year surgiversary with PICS! wow....!!!
Exactly a year ago today I was sitting at the hospital stressing out, and praying that the decision I was about to make was right for me. My family was there with me, and I'm sure they were asking themselves the same question.
I weighed 291lbs, and I was happy! BUT...being only 23 I had high blood pressure, my knee hurt on occasion, I was very uncomfortable in my skin, and (the BIGGEST issue for me) I did not ovulate which meant no kids for me. My main reason for surgery was having kids, as most of you all know.
For the first month I HATED the decision I made having surgery! I wished I could turn the hands of time and change it. I was depressed, and wanted to eat like I used to, and I was overwhelmed by the amount of vitamins and water I had to take.....but then I got the hang of my routine and I started to think this gastric bypass thing was okay after all.
Fast foward ONE YEAR and I would do everything over and over again!! I love my new life...I have made my personal goal of 170 (121lbs lost), my blood pressure is normal nowadays, I am very confident in myself, no achy pains, and the biggest acheivement of them all.........
I AM PREGNANT!!!!
I started ovulating about a month after surgery, and it was very hard not to make good use of my eggs every month. But we took precautions, and waited til it was 'legal' to have a baby! God is so good, they told my husband that he was infertile, and now I sit here carrying his baby.
Gastric bypass made all my dreams come true, I recommend it to any and everybody!!
Thanks for reading!
