Almost 2 years post op!
Jan 24, 2012
So 22 months post op and feeling great! I am still maintaining my weightloss of 130 pounds, some days I feel heavier than others but the scale is not moving and as long as I feel good than hey its alright. The holidays were filled with food of course and a lot of desserts which unfortunately I CAN eat. . .and I did. But now the holidays are over and its the start of a new year and I'm almost 2 years post op.
Wow how the time just flew by, its amazing. I feel so good and am ready to get back to my boot camp class. I was taking it before the holidays but then the class took a break and now its starting up again in the beginning of February and I couldn't be more exited! I can't wait to get moving again! Especially since its winter and I haven't been going out to ride my bicycle or go to the park or rollerblade so I really need this exercise. I was also doing Zumba which I fell in love with, its sooooooo much fun!!
I am going to be starting it again in February too. Also due to the holidays I feel like I haven't been to a support group in forever and can't wait to get back to my LIPO family and back to doing all the fun activities that are planned for the coming year. And now I have some more excellent news my fiance. . .yes we are still not married. . legally. . .lol.. . so my fiance just had the Sleeve Gastrectomy with Dr. David Buchin here on Long Island on January 18th and he is doing Great!! Now he will no longer have diabetes or high blood pressure or sleep apnea, we are so so happy and exited for his new beginning. He has been with me by my side through these two years after my surgery so he has really experienced it first hand. . .although I didn't have the sleeve I had the gastric bypass its about the same. Now we will take these journeys together, both of us with our new chances on life. Its so great. I can't wait for the summer so we can get out on our bikes and on our rollerblades and when we hit those hiking trails. My daughter is going to be so so happy now when Both of her parents will come along for the Whole ride. And another thing that I can't wait for is to get back to Six Flags. We went almost a year an a half ago now and Andy couldn't fit on some of the rides it was so sad.
. I could see how bad and embarassed he felt.
Also I felt bad for him and I really wanted to go on those rides. . so now I can't wait to get back there to show those silly rollercoasters that now Andy can fit in the chair!!!! It truly is a NSV!!! I hope everyone is doing well and that my posts are able to reach people who are thinking about having surgery or have just had surgery and now need some support or just to see other post ops doing well. 
I am encouraging Andy to get back on OH so that he can tell his story too so that other men can get inspiration from him and follow his story too.
