A TRUE JOURNEY AND A REBIRTH

So it has been amost 5 months since I had my VGS surgery. and i am down 82 lbs.

May 2010 I was at my heaviest 277lbs... eww I know.

Aug 2010 before my surgery I was 265lbs...still a big number.

Oct 2010 I was down 32.4 lbs

Nov 2010 i was down another 24lbs

Dec 2010-Jan 2011 I aam down another 24.8 lbs.

I feel so alive and free. I have no problems breathing when I walk for a long time. I'm full of energy and I honestly haven't been working out. Just all the running around I do all day long has definetly paid off. But I plan to start working out asap to tighten my abs and arms.

The only NEGATIVE thing I have to say about my surgery is that I am losing my hair. My hair seems to be thinning. And I do not believe I am getting the right amount of protein. I will have to work on that.

Next doctor Appointment is mid February 2011 and I can not wait until I find out how much more I have lost.

Medicare does not currently cover the Sleeve Gasterctomy. I have re-opened their case and they are reconsidering okaying it. We need support though.<BR>Marcia
