It's My SURGIVERSARY!!!!
Exactly one year ago today, I walked into a hospital in Birmingham, AL alone in order to undergo gastric bypass surgery. It all happened so fast - I made the decision to go by myself because it was something that I needed to do for ME. The nurses thought I was crazy, but I made it. In post-op and after recovery, I told my surgeon 'Let's get this party started because I have a hair appointment next Tuesday, and I HAVE to get my hair done EVERY week cuz Im a diva!" He says he will never forget that. The past year has been a great blessing and today I feel.....VERY blessed. I no longer have diabetes or snore (lol). I have lost 130 lbs to date - I may not be where I want to be, but I damn sure ain't where I was! =)
So today, I will take the time to reflect on this past year and look forward to the future. I have been given two tools - the surgery and OH. I am grateful for all of the wonderful thoughts of encouragement that I have received here, as well as the conversations with fellow post-ops. Today is my birthday - Happy Surgiversary to ME!!! *tears*
Change is good....-

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
