Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 127, did you ever think you would be that again in your lifetime?? One year ago you were totally miserable with the pain and those back shots and now you are a much healthier person. Time goes so fast after the MGB, takes forever when you are doing your packet and waiting for your surgery, I am 2 1/2 years out and cant believe the lifestyle change I have had. Anyway a big congratulations to you Kim and hoping your nausea goes away forever so you can enjoy your new healthy body even more! Take care, ne > > It was one year ago today that I woke up from my surgery thinking... OMG it actually happened! I was just so sure that something would go wrong and I would not be able to have the MGB... but things went smoothly and one year later and several sizes smaller here I am!! > > My weight in May of last year was 250 pounds... I had chronic back pain, a leaky bladder and some icky skin problems in my fat folds, just to name a few problems. When on vacation in Florida with my three sisters, I was barely able to fit into a roller coaster ride. I was so embarassed because I was not fitting so I sat wedged in on one hip and rammed the lap bar down til it clicked. It was a painful ride not to mention likely not very safe... but I would have rather died than to be told " sorry maam, you're too big for the ride " . That's when I decided I was coming home and going back to that CLOS site that I had belonged to some 18 months before. I was going to have a mini-gastric bypass no matter what I had to do to make it happen. > > I have lost 120 pounds in the past year. I was a little too thin at 122 but I've managed to gain 5 pounds and I'm holding at 127 now. I'll be having my blood work done next week to determine my nutritional status etc... but I have had some problems with low iron, low protein and one other thing in the past. > > My only complaint with the whole MGB experience has been with nausea and vomiting. I had severe nausea and vomited right after surgery and was successfully treated with the Bariatric Coctail. But it just keeps on coming back. I would go weeks without any nausea and then I'd start an episode that might last weeks. I have been in a bit of a remission since attending the MGB picnic in Bay City. Each time this happens I hope that the nause is gone for good, but so far it's always come back. During my nausea-free spell I have even been able to gain back a few pounds that I really needed. Now there's an experience that most obese people never get to experience... I needed to gain a few pounds.... hahahahaha > > Would I do it again????? Annually if necessary. I used to have 8 to 10 facet blocks (freezing injections in my spine) and an epidural every 10 days to manage the pain in my low back... I have not required any pain management treatments since my third month post- op. I was unable to walk any distance prior to surgery without having debilitating sciatic pain - now I can actually walk for hours without pain or fatigue. > > Once again I would like to thank all of those people who have helped me through this journey.... especially my patient contacts and the many new friends I've made along the way. > > Now I am hoping that this time next year, my sister Lori will be posting her one year anniversary results! Then we need to do that Florida vacation again... this time as four fit an healthy sisters. > > Hugs Kim > > > Surgery Date : August 18, 2005 > Location: High Point, NC > Surgeon: Dr. Dasher > Pre-op weight 242 pounds wearing a size 20/22 > One year weight 127 pounds wearing a size 5 > Complications: chronic episodes of nausea and vomiting of bile > > > > Kim Nash > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > All new - > --------------------------------- > Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
