3 Weeks Ago I bought my first size 12's....WooHoo What a feeling that was....Again, I was Reluctant to try them on, Thank Goodness I did...Next Stop is 10's If I can get my *&^$@#! Thyroid Rolling Again....My Latest TSH levels were High, I already take Levoxyl .112, I go to PCP 10-15-08, so Maybe w/ the medication adjustment I'll be in 10's by Christmas.

Temptation got the best of me =) on June 5, 2008 11:22 pm
OK so I've said I would Not weigh for a few weeks, my Intestines haven't completely waken up since surgery, I have 3 hideous drain tubes (had 5 but got 2 out today) and a heavy hot binder I have to wear, my Scales have caught my eye for a few days now and I thought no, wait for a while, all the fluids, anesthesia and everything I mentioned above will add to the scales but I couldn't stand it any longer so I stepped on and I was Down 11 pounds, I thought No this Can't be right, I thought maybe 5 or 6 and it was -11 since last Friday morn, I weighed before leaving for the hospital... | Click here to leave a comment.
Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery on June 2, 2008 2:11 pm
I had Brachioplasty and Panniculectomy Friday May 30...I have to say Sat & Sun were tough but Thankfully Sunday night I started feeling better, I've been able to walk around much better and able to get in the shower today (mon). My arms look Great, my R arm is much tighter and more swollen than the L, the L arm feels like I had nothing done to it, maybe I'm just trying to use the R one more, my abdomen looks good too, it is Flat, the staple line makes me Queasy to look at it so I just lie back and let my husband and my RN Brother deal w/ changing the dressings, these drain tubes are a hassle to deal with, I have 5 in all, but drain tubes are a Body's Blessing to have, helps rid of all the excess waste from surgery, I have a binder on, Sure wish I had one after my RNY I Recommend anyone having any type weight loss surgery to have one whether or not your surgeon recommends one, had I had one after my RNY I would have gotten around much better, this has been a life saver.
I took before pics and will ask DH to take some of my arms this afternoon and hopefully get them posted on here today. I've bought two tank tops can't wait to get them on, right now I'm just wearing gowns, I can't even get panties on w/ all these drain tubes (3) in my abdomen so I'm walking around in sleepwear, I'm wondering WHAT I'm going to wear to the doctor Thurs, I get these drain tubes out, I have a sundress I suppose I'll wear then I can take clothes to put on, especially underwear, I dont like going Commando...
I'll post pictures later.

Size 16 jeans on March 19, 2008 7:08 pm
I am so Happy, I reluctantly tried on a pair of Size 16 jeans today and they fit, I almost cried, Needless to say I bought them, I am sure my husband will have to hide them from me or else I'll have them on everyday...LOL.... Although pound wise I am only down 5 from last month but down a whole size in jeans, Amazing!! The Exercise is Paying Off !!

My Story
Over the course of several years I thought of RNY surgery, I even went to 2 Bariatric Surgeons and ended chickened out of having surgery. My health was declining even further, High Triglycerides (800), High Cholesterol, High BP, and pre-diabetic so Once again my weight was on my mind not to mention in '04 I lost 50pds to put that back on in late '06 early '07. So one day in Feb. I decided to get on the internet and look up Bariatric Surgeons in my area, that search led me to call Dr.Bryan Freeman's office in Anniston, AL. I had a consultaion conference 4 days later, I was excited, but still somewhat unsure If I would follow thru w/ the surgery. In the past my family was non-supportive but as seeing my health further decline this time they were supportive, my husband went w/ me to the conference and was very Impressed w/Dr.Freeman, his mannerisms and the fact that he prayed w/ us at the conference. Before we left that day each of us in the conference knew exactly what our ins. would pay, I have BCBS of AL and had to follow a 6 month weigh-in w/ my doctor or a nutritionalist before approving me for surgery, I had no problems after my 6 month weigh-ins /diet was over, my info was e-filed and I was actually still on the phone w/ Beverly when she said "your approved" I almost fell out, I figured I had to wait days/weeks to get an approval but I did not. I had my RNY on Aug. 22, 2007.
