Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 On this day, 11/05/2001 (a weight loss odyssey), I had my surgery. I remember sitting right outside the operating room, signing those forms for the anesthesiologist, naked under that thin wrap, and it was SO cold. I was shivering, but it wasn't all just from the arctic temperatures. I was SO terrified. To this day, I don't know from which resevoirs of courage I drew (or that I even HAD any!), but a part of what kept me from running like hell was that I was SO sick and f'kn tired of the life I had been living for the past 25 years. I KNEW that if I didn't go through with this, then I was just going to eat myself into my grave. On this day two years ago, I chose life. So I sit here today, 208 lbs down from my top weight, able to do things now that I yearned to do for decades, and couldn't do because of my obesity. Is life perfect? No, it's not, but no one's life ever is, and besides, perfection is boring. But today I can say I am happy, much much happier than I was on this morning two years ago. And I look damn good! LMAO!
