What a year it has been

First let me which everyone a very happy and healthy New Year.   With that out of the way, I must say this has been the craziest year I have ever had. Let's start at the beginning. On January 5th of last year (2010) I had a mastectomy becuase I had breast cancer. I did not have the reconstruction done right away, because my plastic surgeon knew I was having Lapband surgery in the summer - postponed from December when I learned about the cancer. He said my body would be changing to drastically so he would put it off. He did not want me to be lop-sided. I had my Lapband surgery on 6/21, my actual birthday that I call my rebirth.   I did not need chemo - I did not need radiation - I have lost 69.5 lbs - I am cancer free - I am no longer diabetic - I no longer have sleep apnea - I no longer have high blood pressure   I am hoping to have my tummy tuck and boobs done in December of this year.   I know I will always have to watch what I eat, always exercise and be ever viligent. I will do so because I am loving my new self. I guess my journey will never end, but I thank God everyday I made the journey at all.
