Today is my 6th Year Anniversary Post Gastric Bypass Surgery

On March 24, 2006 I started a new life. I had no idea if I was going to make it through the Gastric Bypass Surgery. It took about three years for my insurance company to give in. I had Gallstones lodged in my liver so they were forced to operate. It was a really hard road. I was so sick I wanted to just die. I didn’t want to have anymore pain. I had an amazing support team in my family and the few friends who supported my decision. It was hard to see the big picture when it was such a hard recovery. I had no idea that I would be here today writing my Blog. You can read about my journey in great detail right here on my Blog. Just look through the older posts to find it. I Lost 300 pounds and kept it off. The odds were stacked against me but survived. I reached my goal weight which wasn’t good enough for some people. They seem to think I could stand to loose another 100 pounds. Maybe I will and maybe I won’t. My body, my choice. I need to let go of the negative energy from the haters about my weight loss. I took it very personally when one of them told me I would gain it all back. I’m still alive, the surgery did not kill me and I do not have any major surgery complications. Just the normal stuff like always keeping my vitamin levels up. I am still a work in progress. I am still learning about the new me verses the old me. I know I am truly a different person on the outside but I am a better person on the inside. I have grown and learned from this experience. It is not over yet by any means. I still have some fight left in me. I will need it to live with the damage that has been done to my body due to my former weight. I need new knees, a new ankle, a cure for Osteoarthritis and Lupus. I am blessed with an amazing family and friends that keep me going. I want to thank them for never giving up on me and for 100% of their support. I love you. I fight the addiction to food every day and I won’t quit because I want to live. Now lets celebrate every single day that we live to see another day.

MoMo Out!
