SummerTime but still no Bikini

Not that this body would ever be in one anyhow. There is nothing like buying new clothes to make you feel great. I've reach a point where I've cleaned out the closets and got rid of clothes that were OH so BIG on ME!!!:clap2: And going to the store and buying smaller sizes. I started out a 24-26. I just never really looked at myself as being as BIG as I was--talk about a eye opener. I'm down to a 18 now and the weight loss is also coming off, still slow but I've come to live with it. Star

It's a New Year-2006

Even with the slow weight loss I never had felt better. One of the best decission I ever made was having this band and have NO REGRETS!!! It just hitting those plato's that make it hard for me. So after our 25th Anniversary trip to St. Aug. and WDW, David and I decided to join WW. Now WW doesn't taken to kindly to Gastric pt. So I decided to keep my mouth shut on that little secret. I have to say it has helped alot. We both really like going to the meeting. We have the best speaker ever

Home and Recovering Time

I had alot of discomfort around my port. All I did was go from the bed, bathroom, computer for the first few days. But each day was easier and easier. I took 3 weeks off from work. I'm a sec. in the Labor Room, so they felt I didn't need anymore time than that. Well, let me tell you I work 4 12 shifts with alot of up and down during those 12 hours. I was in so much discomfort that first week. But by the 4th week I was back to the normal and on the road to lossing. I didn't get my first f

After Surg.

After staying afew hours in rec. rm I was trans to a pvt suite (Dr. Bass and his partner has them for there Gastric Pt.) around 7:30p that night. It was very nice being by myself. Didn't feel all that great from the anesth. that is for sure. They got me out of bed so I could use the rest room (talk about rubber knee's). I was told that I would be getting a clear liquid diet (hear we go again LIQUIDS) But what did they bring me but a Reg. Gastric diet (chicken, veg, coffee and dessert) UGH!

Liquid Phase before Surg.

Well this wasn't the easiest but it was a job that I had to get through. But get through I did:clap2: . It now surg. day Sept 9th, 2005. My case was sch. for 2pm so I got to the hospital around 11am to get the Iv and the rest of the paper work taken care of. Then I get told that Dr. Bass had not been aware of a case sch. before me:mad: which means that I've been pushed back another hour. Do they happen to know how uncomfortable those stretchers happen to be for my butt. Soon enough I'm of

Now for all the rest

Well it took several months to get all my dr's. appt. for med clearence and all the evaluations taken care of. I had made the decission not to tell most of my co-workers:kiss because they can be such a bunch of bitches at times. Some of them gave one of my co-workers such a hard time because they felt like she wasn't losing like she should:omg: and who died and made them the experts. Alot of them could loss some weight themselfs. Of course I did have to tell my boss who was very supporti

It all stared in May 2005

After coming back from a trip to Lake Taho for spring break and seeing how "FAT" I looked in all the pictures. I new I need to take a BIG step in doing something about this. Two of my co-workers had the bad done, 1 in Feb and the other in April. After seeing all the great results they have had in such a short time. I felt this was something I should look into. After muling this over and over I told my husband David that this was something I wanted to do. He at first was shocked since I alw
