My 10 year Anniversary

Jun 29, 2010

Wow, I can't believe it's been 10 years on July 5th, 2010 since my gastric bypass surgery.  I did failed at my Feb 2010 previously posted goal, I got a frozen shoulder and can not exercise too much though it is getting better. I would like to lose another 20 pounds before the fall. There is no reason I can't do that because I have a wonderful organic garden growing.

  My girlfriend Val, just had the Sleeve surgery done four days ago and she is doing great.  I will encourage her to post some before pics soon.

The 30 day Challenge

Dec 29, 2009

Yes, I am up for it.  I have put on my normal 10+ holiday pounds.  I had my surgery July 2000.  I went from 265 to 155.  I now weigh 175.  It is time to get to my goal of 150.  I have to lose 25 pounds and I think I can do it by Feb 28th, 2010.  I am bad about exercising and I have no excuse, I work at a YMCA.  I get personal training sessions for $22.50 per hour (half price).  I have a plan...
-the first. two weeks of January- I will get used to working out  again and build up some tolerance, while getting my meals on track.
-Jan. 15th- I talk to a personal trainer (Sue Massi) and get her help.
-I will work up to 3 personal training sessions per week until I lose 25 pound.

I had my weight loss surgery in July 2000.  I weighed in at 267 the morning of surgery.  I am so happy that I did this!  Weight loss surgery made me feel alive again.  I have lost 115lbs.  I just have one major problem, too much skin.  I keep getting chaffed skin.  I hate being sore.  It is time to have a Panniculectomy!  I have a doctors appt. March 29st.  Wish me luck!

Gosh, what a wonderful Dr. "V" is, he is so kind and comforting.
We have a scheduled date for my "Panni", it's June 27th.  I am a little scared, but I am ready for it.  I have lived with the chaffing long enough.  I would love to hear from someone who has had this surgery by Dr. V.  My insurance as agreed to only pay for the hospital.  I wrote a letter today, appealing their decision.  I am hoping that they will also pick up Dr."V" expense.
