Well I am 1 year old today! I had my surgery on Oct 8, 2002. What a year it has

been. I have been given back my life. I can tie my shoe, shave my legs, bend and

run and jump. I can wrestle with my 2 year old grandson and not die. I can run

up the stairs (ok 1 flight only, the knees carried too much of me for too long.

LOL) I was able to save an elderly lady from choking cause I was thin enought to

get my arms around her and her wheelchair. No way that would have happened

pre-op. I no longer have high blood pressure, GERD, sleep apnea, high

cholesterol, or heel spurs. The osteo arthritis in my lower back and hips is

virtually painless.

The only prescription meds I am now on is Trinsicon, and flexaril and ambien for

sleep for the fibromyalgia. No the fibro isn't gone, but ya know what? It is

much better now that I am sleeping better. Haven't had a flare in about 6months.

I do now have some pretty severe mid back pain at times, I believe due to the

extra abdominal skin hanging around. I look darn good in clothes.........

unclothed???????? we aint going there! My skin looks like it needs to be steam

ironed!

I am 48 years old and feel younger then I have in years. Wasted the majority of

my youth being fat. I have a wonderful and supportive and loving husband, he is

the best and has put up with alot from me this year, not the least of which is

the cost of protein and supplements and new clothes~ We won't even talk about

some of the mood swings! LOL

I now need to get serious and work on this 10-15lbs. Mainly cause I want to be

ready for the bounce back! I need to be more vigilant with my protein shakes and

vitamins. I think I will let my PCP order the Miacalcin nasal spray, the

osteopenia is kinda scary. I need to up my water, decrease my coffee and diet

coke (there is that osteopenia thing again!) I would do this surgery again in a

nanosecond! I have no regrets and am so very grateful I have had no

complications at all.

I have my wonderful online and in person support groups to thank for this. You

guys are the best!!
