It's been awhile since I made a post. I've been so busy. I was already busy, now adding exercising and gym into the mix, my plate runneth over now. My progree may not be like some people here have had, but none the less if you check my data, I have made progress.  From 316 to 236, do you think I've made progress???    Progress has slowed down, but it's still coming OFF. Man! Let me tell you, it has been so long since I've been this size, I don't know how to act. Now I,m 5'9", so as always people don't think I weight as much as I do still. I have been loving all the compliments, every time I see someone that new me heavy, I get complimented. My self esteem has went through the roof. I can't pass a mirror or window without checking myself out. The new attention is wonderful.      I'll be posting new pictures soon. Now about my closet, I had at least 6 sizes in there. Would you believe I'm almost at the smallest size in my closet. I got rid of the 3 largest sizes. Not that I plan to wear the other sizes. It's just so hard to get rid of some things I've been waiting soo long to get back into and now those things are too large.  To all you people that are thinking about this procedure, let me tell you, I would do it in a heart beat, I don't regret it not one bit. I look forward to every day. Doing things I wasn't able to do in the past. I am a totally new person and loving it. And my love life has improve ten thosand percent. It's like we were newly weds again. I look forward to shopping again, were before I dreaded it. I can shop in regular stores....Whooppieeeee    I have not experienced any of the horror stories people have told about this method. I beleive the key to that is following what your dotors tell you to do. I am such a more happier and healthier person today. I wished I could have done this years ago.

Thursday 10-25-07, I went in to have my surgery, Everything was on time 6:00 Am. I kissed my husband goodbye and they rolled me off to the operating room. I scooted onto the operating table and laid on my back, and the drug man says I'm gonna insert the meds into your arm. And no soon as he did, all I remember was telling him I can feel the sleep coming. Next thing they were rolling me to my hospital room and I hurt. I find out then, that I went in for my gastric bypass and ended up having a total of 4 major surgeries. They found a large hernia, repaired that, my gall bladder was full of stones, doctor says one of the largest he'd seen, they removed that. My uterus was enlarged, he fixed that. Total overhaul. I only stayed in the hospital 4 days, I want to thank all the people that came to see me while I was there, especially my friend Beth, who had her wls the next day, but found time to come see me regularly. I felt bad that I was in too much pain to make it over to her room. I couldn't resist hopping up on the scale, had lost 8 pounds already. People joke that it was all the other stuff they removed. Yeah ha ha.
