Default Happy RE-Birthday to Me!!

Happy 2nd surgeversary to me!!! Well, no I have not met goal, but I am healthier than I was two years ago. As some of you know, I've had some bumps along the way, but if I had to do it over again, I definitely would. Right now, I still can't exercise due to foot surgery, but I am still trying to watch my eating and water intake. I have my 2-year follow-up on Monday, and I will tell the doc I'm not where I want to be, but I'm a long way from where I was. I remember my 1-year follow up from last year. The nurse told me not to lose any more weight because she didn't want me to look sick. I still want to lose about 20 more, but I'll have to see what my body says.

Also, as a follow-up to my friend's baby --he was transferred to a specialty hospital and is doing better. He is not out of the woods yet, and will probably have to have a minimum of 2 more surgeries, but most of the negative things the other hospital was telling the family cannot be found now. The other hospital said he would have brain damage--the new hospital can't see it. So we all are very happy about his prognosis. Thanks for all your support and prayers for him.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Has it been that long?? My how time flies when you're having fun!!

So what has been the most significant change you've noticed, and what words of wisdom about your journey can you share with the newbies?

CT
I can't believe it either CT. It seems like yesterday that my family was more nervous than me and I was excited about my new life to be.

My most significant change?? Wow, where do I begin!!! I love to shop now, but what woman doesn't! But at least I don't have to focus my energy in the women's department all the time. I do know my confidence and self esteem has improved a whole lot as well. I have more energy, and I'm healthier than I've been in over 30 years. To the newbies--follow the rules!! And definitely stay on this site. This site actually helped me more than my doctors did. Ask anything, whether it seems stupid to you or not--there are no stupid questions here, and we're all here for the same reason, to help and get help.

Thanks to all my RR Family for the love and support over the past 2+ years. I look forward to 20+ more years with all of you !!!
