Friday it will be 8 months ago, Dr M walked into the waiting room w Dr. G and said Mr and Mrs Pojer surgery went great. Katie did wonderful she has a tight sleeve, thank god she had surgery the fat around her liver would mean diabetes and insulin by 31, shes a young woman with her entire life ahead of her.
Eight months ago, I was coming off an operating table groggy and out of it. All I remember is the anesthesiologist going Katie sweetie its over, Katie its over wake up.. As I was moved off the table I breathed in, I looked around disoriented from the medication.
I just wanted my Mom or Dad or Aunt who has an RNY. I just wanted someone from my family. I was in such pain and the nausea started to hit, I propped myself up and tried to vomit. The agony the nurses told me to breathe. I did not want to breathe, I just wanted my Mom.
After realizing what I just did I was in and out of sleepy for a bit and finally I saw my parents. I was like how did it go, how did it go am I gonna be thin. My dad of course blurts out look pictures from your surgery... LOL the pictures they gave. My Mom was concerned w my vitals and pain control I was like where are my glasses???
Well eight months later I have to say I SAVED MY LIFE! EMBRACED MY LIFE.
I am a different person WLS saved me.

123 Gone 16 to Go Living My Thin Life
I am now thin, I am going to say I AM THIN! I AM HEALTHY I AM NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE.
A mere eight months ago I was 298 lbs going into surgery I am now 176 fifteen lbs to my goal, I am no longer afraid of the scale, I am no longer afraid of shopping. This year I can wear a teeny einsy weeny bikini.
I am now a healthy woman, healthy! I look in the mirror and I see her the woman I was always supposed to be. The energy is so high I feel amazing!
Now I am working as a Pharmacy Tech for CVS, I LOVE MY JOB! It is physical because I am on my feet all day bending moving and stocking. I have been stocking the pharmacy for the past two days. There would have been a time, I would have been exhausted tired and out of breath now I am not.
Sitting here I was debating on whether to go and speak at seminar tomorrow or now as I am tired and recovering from a sinus infection. I am watching my 600 lb life and I then realized I HAVE TO GO TOMORROW, my life was saved by this surgery. If, I do not share my story whose life wont be saved?
For god sakes I was just put on my Gym's WOW board and share my story. I have worked my ass off, I HAVE A NEW LIFE. Never in my life would I have been a size 10! I am almost there.
A year ago I was 300lbs now I am 176 almost there.
I thank god every day
