Finally.. Ive been waiting for this to happen.. ive read others who have hit there..and thought.. wow.. must be nice.. cant wait for me to get there.. then boom..another surgery unrelated to the sleeve.. knocked me down for 3 weeks. but hey the good news is no cancer.. masses gone..legs are healing.. and during that time.. rotten stall.. but then I wasnt really doing anything.. put my weight loss back 3 weeks.. sucked big time.. but ive slowed down on that anyways.. but thats ok.. I figure.... Im only 6mo out and im down 98lbs.. life is good.. cant believe it really..still having a hard time with that.. still see the old me in the mirror.. but others see the new me... my mind is playing tricks on me lol. I think if it was not for the most wonderful support system I have at home with my fantastic husband who also had the sleeve done a week after me.. he has lost like 102lbs..and looks like a stick.. he is at 188lbs..and happy with that and he too is 6mo out... He keeps me on the straight and narrow.. but in a loving way.. we support each other in this journey.. my doc is fantastic..and so is his nurse.. we work very hard and no way are we going to mess this up.. new doors have opened up for us.. no more seat belt extensions.. we can sit in a booth with lots of room... smaller clothes.. and wow.. I like to shop for clothes now lol.. Im in trouble there.. but for those of you just starting out.. so many wonderful things are about to happen to you... I would do this again in a heartbeat.. love this site... ive learned so much from everyone.. Im healthy happy... and on the go here and there... hang in there newbies.. it does get better.. but for me and my hubby.. we have had an easy go of this... we didnt get sick..no throwing up.. no issues at all.. piece of cake for us..so best of luck to eveyone on their own personal journey.. Dont let anyone or anything get you down.. work hard at this.. the doctor is giving you a wonderful tool.. its up to each and everyone of us to do the right thing with that tool... I chose to do the right thing... and it payed off big time.. good luck all :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
