Update

Hello everyone,

 

I went to the dr yesterday for my post op visit. My incision are healing really well and to my suprise I have lost a total of 19 pounds since my surgery on Novemeber 10, 2010. I could not believe it I actually asked the Dr if that number was correct. So from my highest weight I have lost 25 pounds. To me that is amazing since I have never been able to do this before. I am so grateful for the decision I have made and look forward to my new journey on life. Good luck to everyone pre-op to post- op and beyond. May all everyone wishes, hopes, and dreams come true. I also would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with friends and Family. Till the next update everyone take care.

Hi,

The hardest part for me was the pain afterwards. I bruise really easy so my stomach looked like I was hit by a train but the actual pain only lasted a couple of days. I thought to myself why did I do this to myself and I disliked my dr at the time. My dr asked me yesterday, How was the pain afterwards? I told him I was not going to lie I really did not like him at that point and time lol. He said most people don't lol. But I am psotive you will do great and the rewards at the end are worth it . Just remember that this life changing decision will all be worth a little pain. Your surgery will be here before you know it and the weight will be falling off. Good luck to you as well and please keep me updated on how you are doing. We can be supportive for each other. Take care and agian best of luck.

Hi,

When is your first fill? Mine is dec. 6, 2010. I am a little nervous about that just because I have never done it before. But, I am heard it isn't really bad as it sounds. Congrats to you on your weight loss. Before we know it we will be a totally new person on the outside anyways. Keep up the great work.
