    Congratulations on your surgery! Welcome to the LOSER'S BENCH (where there is always room for one more)! I pray that your recovery will be smooth and uneventful and it will be followed by a life time of improved health and success for you. Remember to keep walking and getting your liquids in - and eventually you'll be eating normal foods again (I promise). Take good care of yourself and make sure to post as the many, many wow moments that are sure to fill your post-op life come your way! :-)

    WOW, I can't believe that your surgery date is just about here. It has gone fast for me at least. I hope you do really well and just sail through with no problems. You have done super so far. Take good care of yourself. I'll be waiting to hear how you are doing. Diana

Life is so good!
posted on 9/14/07 11:40 am
I am so thankful for a skilled surgeon and for this wonderful surgery.  I am now down a total of 46 pounds, just 7.5 weeks after surgery.  From a size 20 to a size 14.  I can walk distances again.  Actually, I'm starting to think about running! I really do feel that well.  I have a lot more energy than I've had in years.  Every now and then I get really tired, but my surgeon says it's because I don't eat enough.  HAH!  Did any of us ever think we would hear a doctor say that?  I can tell you, I never thought I'd see the day.  Buying new clothes, flirting, dating, having fun -- life is wonderful.  I am such a happy woman!

Linda

  • How much weight did you lose before surgery? How long did it take you to lose it?
    did you gain any weight in the hospital? How much weight did you lose after you left the hospital?

  • Wow Linda. Running? That's wonderful! I'm so glad you can really feel your improvements. It's time for some new pictures!
