NanaD 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Hi there. I'm a newbie but have been lurking for several months. This site has been a blessing, even tho I had to learn to take positive and leave the negative. I've heard a lot of people say their surgery is like a new birth. My surgery was supposed to be on March 10th, but was postponed until March 24th. I was a little disappointed but soon became excited that I can finally start celebrating my birthday again. My original weight was 237, and after preop diet I've lost over 20 lbs. :rolleyes2: I am excited, and after I recover abit in a day or two I will return with more of my story. Again, I thank everyone and wish everyone good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfc193 718 Posted March 24, 2009 Good luck on your journey. Like many others I wished I would of had the surgery allot sooner. Yet at the same time I had to wait until I was actually ready to commit to change in Life Style. While the journey has been far from easy it is a path worth traveling.

NanaD 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Thanks everyone for all your support. I've had so many surgerys that I'm not really worried about tomorrow.I've had a complete hysterectomy, gall bladder removed, breast cancer, and 18 inches of my colon removed. What I'm worried about is succeeding in my journey after all these years of yo-yoing. Good luck to you that will be banded soon also. I'd love to stay in touch.
