I finally had the access skin removed from my stomach now needing upper thighs! Opinion of the Surgery for thighs if anyone has had

Ok now its been 17months for me since my ds which I totally love and I am down from 323 before surgery date to 152 was at 142 and thank god gained a few pounds,Life is so different never thought I would hear so many people say you need to gain weight girl ur to skinny its like i have waited my whole life to hear those words. Im still newly wed and my husband and kids are my everything its exciting now to get out and show the new me off people around my small town say they wouldnt
even know me if i didnt speak and they recognize my voice lol...Still never has it been an easy rode but i give god all the credit because of all my blessings and I love shopping now....:)

Well im almost 10 months out and I can say choosing the ds was the best life decision I could have ever made I am down from starting weight of 323 pre op surgery weight and now 177 just 7 lbs away from my first goal which I have changed now to 150. I have truely been blessed with a new life with my kids and my new husband who has loved me through it all it feels good now not to be limited on the things that I can do in life but actually enjoy it and feel like i can hold my head up high and be proud of who i am inside and out!! Life is great and im thankful for having such a wonderful family and friends support but mostly for all the prayers along the way and having god in my life

On August 5th 2009 I thought that day would never come and I finally got switched when I woke up after surgery it felt as if I had been hit by a train but the more I have got up and moved around the soreness is finally going away..At first I thought I would never get through this but I just got out of that bed and walked the halls 8 times or more a day in the hospital and I just go none stop. Im so glad im finally switched and I looked forward to all the changes and all the new things that I will learn thanks for everyones prayers I am glad to say im doing great and on the track to finally shedding some pounds. And I finally have a positive out look on the days ahead of me

After waiting for over a month I found out today I was finally approved I have shed many tears in fear of not being approved and alot of prayers were said from family and friends and i was so relived to hear yes i just sat and cried in joy

So far I have almost completed all my test for my insurance and all have been great results I like one more test and one more visit with my family physician and I will be ready to get my date for my surgery. I am so excited to have a new life but im so scared to not really sure what to expect just wish me luck that I will have my date hopefully in July and not have to wait until Aug.

I had my sleep apnea test finally and the bed was so relaxing down to one more family phy visit which will be June 15th and only one more test then I hope to soon have my date around July to have my surgery Im so excited cause I had a wonderful friend who just went through this and she looks amazing and she encourages me everyday I am blessed to have her as a friend

The day finally come to have my one on one with Dr.Husted on March 18th and after my visit with him I felt even more comfortable about the decision to go through with my weight lost surgery and so I am aming to have the DS Surgery. I also had my nutri eval and my physiatric eval that same day and now I only have a few things left to get done and in the end of June I will have my six months of weight documentation done so hopefully come the first of July I will be ready to start my new life

On Feb 19 2009 I attended my first seminar at the lake cumberland regional hospital in Somerset Ky I remember looking at all of the procedures and thought to myself are you kidding me there isnt anyway im going to go through something like this I will just stay a big healthy girl lol!!! And right beside me was my skinny little (really big sister) saying you should really think about this before doing something so dramatic...Of course my biggest fear was omg what if I dont make it through my surgery and what about my kids I have to be there for them as time passed I knew in my mind though if I didnt give it a chance then I would never be around for as long as I wanted to just to see them grow up of course I dont have any major health problems at the time but I know as soon as I get older those will come forsure in time..So I just told myself I will put my faith in god and give it a chance cause I really know that at the weight I am at right now I have so much holding me back from the things that I love and I cant be the person I really am deep down inside
