My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

Who knew being "NORMAL" wouldn't be a boring, icky label to give someone. I like to think "outside the box", so NORMAL wasn't ever a goal for me. LOL. But today I got my bloodtests back from the doctor and he said everything was fantastic and ever so normal. Phew! Last week, I had a cancer scare and NORMAL sounds JUST PEACHY to me now. Normal weight, normal health, can't ask for better!
