      Yes I know I will survive. And i know I will be okay. I take it one day at a time. But even the most knowledgeable and experienced person can have a point where it can be too much and that is me today. Tomorrow is another day and I will meet the challenges head on as I have before. Thank you for your feelings. :)

  21. I may actually be past the 50 pound mark when I see my surgeon Tuesday for the 3 month visit.... can you say 'Woot! Woot!'???

  22. And I'm back to being super nervous after reading a friends blog about her chronic leak post vsg 14 month out. 3 day's to go, Am I really going to chicken out now?

  23. So I went to see my surgeon the week before last, and I found out that I have a hernia right next to my big incision site, and now it's starting to really show more than before, as I loose more weight it shows more, so I don't wear anything that is tighter unless it's my undershirt. We spoke about it, and he suggests that I wait till I have lost all my weight to have it fixed? That means 60-70 more lbs before that happens? I don't know it looks funny???
