May 16, 2014 was the day it changed for me. I was staring down rabbit hole and looking into my new life. Four months ago to the day I was sitting in the Operating Room Prep Area, with my Mom waiting for them to wheel me in. I was 293 lbs from a whopping 300lbs thank god my insurance did not require a lot of pre weight loss. I sat there on the gurney just waiting for them to bring me down. As all the doctors and nurses came in and prepped me, the IV lines were started everything was double checked and I continued to sign my life away for all the hospital paper work. All of a sudden it was time, as the versed was injected into my IV line I was okay and then all of a sudden I started to feel woozy. I remember kissing my Mom good bye and Dad and was wheeled off down the corridor, after that it where it gets blurry. I have a remember the sensation of be transferred to the operating table and vaguely saying hi to the nurses and doctors in the room. I then fell asleep but was in this state between awake and deep anesthetic sleep. I remember the lovely anesthesiologist going to me more propofol please. After, that the next thing I remember is Katie wake up wake up its over your surgery is over. In the haze of the drugs and coming back to life I was groggily I thought to myself did I have surgery?
As I started to breathe on my own I felt sore all I remember is feeling like someone had hit me on the stomach but I had my gallbladder out before that two years ago and I knew this feeling. After this I went to recovery and barely remeber much.
Fast Forward Four Months
I am now down 82 lbs to 218. I DO NOT REGRET A SINGLE DAY
